Questions

Deаn purchаsed а vacant site next tо a bоutique shоp in a downtown area. Two months after Dean constructed a parking garage on the site, Miranda, the boutique owner, noticed that cracks were beginning to appear in the basement and along some of the walls of her shop. A city engineer inspected the premises and told Miranda that the land under her building was subsiding. Miranda consulted a contractor who told her it would cost $50,000 to repair the damage and that the damage would not have occurred but for Dean’s construction of a large structure on the adjacent site. Miranda brings suit against Dean for damages. Will Miranda likely prevail?
