But it's probably going to be years before the owners see any money. Unless their homeowners insurance covers it (and then files their own lawsuits to recover the non-storm costs).

How would Google be responsible? The company should know better than to do something without physical verification. Google is not responsible for the contractors stupidity and laziness.

Lawyers tend to go after "deep pockets", and Google, when queried for an address, pointed to the wrong location, contributing to the situation.
Plaintiff attorney will happily file suit and let the relative percentages of responsibility shake out in the litigation process.....
It's got very little to do with reality. Remember the McDonalds 'hot coffee in my lap' lawsuit?

ROWLETT — Both owners of a duplex in Rowlett said they are shocked that a demolition company mistakenly tore down their homes on Tuesday.

Lindsay Diaz and Alan Cutter own both sides of the duplex, and were waiting on insurance and a possible FEMA individual assistance declaration to decide on repairs.

Diaz said she received a frantic call from Cutter’s wife on Tuesday afternoon saying the duplex was gone.

“I pull up, and — sure enough — it’s gone,” Diaz said. “There’s nothing left.”

The demolition company was supposed to tear down a home one block away.

A representative from Nabors Demolition told WFAA it had no comment, and that the situation was under investigation.

“How do you make a mistake like this?" Diaz asked. " I mean, this is just the worst.
