NATIONAL CITY, Calif. — Many flood victims in National City are now in the phase of taking on legal representation.

Their case is to have the city pay for damages after neglecting to open a grate the city installed in a storm drain that wraps around all five of their homes. The Gogues have photos of the grate being shut during the Jan. 22 storm, causing massive debris to clog the drain and overflow floodwaters onto the five household properties.Gonzalez said the problem they're facing was preventable and he said this was a National City maintenance issue that was neglected.

On Feb. 29, Gonzales filed claims on behalf of his nine clients who live in the five homes, including the Gogues, who said they want to be repaid for not just the expenses to rebuild their homes, but also for hospital bills.
