Good for you! Go ahead and fight them and more power to ya. I work for an electric co-op and there should be no question that they are liable on a clearance issue since they have already admitted it.
Back in the late '70s, the town discovered a million gallon/day water supply on some of our land. They took roughly 10 acres of our meadow near the river. They offered dad about 10 or 15K. Dad didn't take it. So it went to the Eminent Domain Commission. They said it was worth $40K. Dad said it was worth more than that just for the land, to say nothing of the beautiful water supply they had discovered.
So, it went to court. By the time they paid for the land and all the interest that had accrued over the 2 or 3 years it took to get it settled, we ended up getting some over $170K. If the town had just been a little more reasonable to start with, they could have had it for a fraction of that. But the head selectman, who had aspirations as a lawyer himself, thought he could get it for next to nothing. He found out otherwise.
We made photocopies of the two checks for posterity sake.
A lot of that money went to our lawyers but it was money well spent. They did a fantastic job.
