The following excerpt is from Bellman v. County of Contra Costa, 1 Cal.Rptr. 355 (Cal. App. 1959):
The Maryland case of Easter v. Dundalk Holding Co., 1952, 199 Md. 324, 86 A.2d 477, 479, in examining the right to damages for loss of lateral support, points out that the above-stated rule concurs with the 'later English cases [which] hold that recovery may be had for each successive damage 'as and when it occurs', whether the damage be recurrent or continuous' and general. Although the Maryland court found no substantial subsidence in the case before it and therefore awarded no damages, it followed the general rule as above stated.
