We had an oil spill at my house. The insurance company is paying for it on the behalf of the responsible party, but I am unable to sell my house for what it should be worth. This is costing me time, money, and energy. What can I do? Can I benefit from a lawsuit? We had to add on to our home because w were told our house world not sell..And we were adding to our family.. but now we're stuck here because the house is still not worth as much as we owe and it's really unlikely anybody would buy it with the dep still working on it. I'm also really concerned that the value will never rebound because this will always have to be disclosed. Not to mention all the time and energy we've spent dealing with this, and the possible long term health effects. It sucks all around, I feel robbed. I.don't even know what kind of lawyer I'd need
