We had a property damage claim against the county. They refused to pay it and don't know the reason for the rejection. Do they have to provide this information? Also, can we file a small claims action against the county? The damage was about $5000 and was caused by plugged culverts across the street that the county has not maintained for the last two years, resulting in our property being flooded.

I purchased a house with a repair contract that specified flashing would be installed above windows, doors, and trim, as indicated in the inspection report. However, at the deposition, the opposing counsel argued that flashing was only intended for the gate posts, causing confusion and a potential loss in settlement value. My attorney, who was supposed to be an expert, seemed unprepared and did not have the necessary expert witness present. Who is at fault for not pursuing the 'self-flashing' issue, and why wasn't the contractor, who was supposed to be our expert witness, present at the deposition? Additionally, does the repair contract and inspection report match, and why was there so much confusion during the deposition?
