Episode Details

Three Indianapolis landowners just won a major federal lawsuit over the Nickel Plate Trail, securing $415,326 in compensation after the government created a public easement on their property without proper payment under federal law. Their lawyer, Lindsay Brinton, explains that while Indiana law didn’t require compensation, federal law did — and they’ve been fighting for years to get it. These three were the last residents on this stretch to receive their payout, due to unique property setups. Brinton’s firm has handled similar cases across Indy, including recent work on the west side, highlighting how public infrastructure projects can intersect with private property rights — and how justice finally catches up.
