Owners of home destroyed by Jackson landslide file suit
The owners of a home destroyed in a landslide in Jackson have filed a lawsuit alleging construction work made the hillside below their house unstable.
The Jackson Hole News & Guide reports Jeremy and Sara Budge are seeking compensation from construction and engineering companies and previous owners of a nearby Walgreens property. Their lawsuit names more than a dozen defendants.
The slow-moving landslide last year ripped the Budges’ home in two. Authorities temporarily evacuated dozens of other homes and apartments.
The Walgreens is permanently closed. Walgreens reached a $150,000 settlement with the Budges in September and is not directly part of the litigation.
Those involved in the case either declined to comment or did not return calls.
