California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Albers v. Los Angeles County, 38 Cal.Rptr. 308 (Cal. App. 1964):
'We do not intend to say, nor do we think it extends to such damage as the owner of the property * * * sustains * * * with the other abutters on the street or the general public, but only to that special injury which he receives over and above such common injury.' (See also Wolff v. City of Los Angeles, 49 Cal.App. 400, 193 P. 862.)
