Historic Flood Lawsuits
The 2015 flooding caused catastrophic damage to many Columbia homes, including those near Fort Jackson and Gills Creek dams. A lawsuit was filed against the Federal Government after the discovery that two dams at Fort Jackson breached during the weather event. The Strom Law Firm is leading efforts to obtain justice for flood victims affected by flooding as a result of dam failures.
