Expert Evaluates Truck Stop Land Usage Dispute

Case Overview

This case takes place in Indiana and involves a dispute over land usage. The plaintiff owns property consisting of a truck stop, while the defendant owns property adjacent to this truck stop and wanted to develop a commercial building. The plaintiff claims they need the entire easement in order for trucks to access and leave the truckstop. The issue pertains to the route truckers are taking, coming off the road that runs in front of both properties and whether the tractor trailers can make certain maneuvers through different routes around the easement area. The defendant maintains that they will leave enough room for customers to be able to access the truck stop premises. The defendant needs an expert in property management to examine the area and perform certain maneuvers to determine the various access areas to the truck stop and if there are alternative routes through the easement area that would not require the entire space.
