What is the name of your state? CA
Our neighbor's very large retaining wall fell and slid down the hillside during a recent mudslide. My questions are:
1) Is the neighbor responsible for removing his very large pieces of broken retaining wall from our property?
2) Is the neighbor responsible for removing the mud and debris that came down the hill onto our property (our portion of the hillside is still intact, the debris on our property appears to be from their top portion of the the hillside).
3) Is the neighbor responsible for repairing the damages to our swimming pool and retaining wall (the damages appear to be caused by his falling retaining wall, not the mudslide).
4) What is the statute of limitations to pursue legal action against the neighbor if they are not willing to cooperate?
Neither insurance companies will cover the damage, since a mudslide is not covered under the policies. FEMA won't help because a federal disaster has not been declared.
Help!
