If the plaintiff was not paying taxes, and therefore not funding the Corps, they should be eliminated from the suit.
If they were paying taxes, they had insurance and they should be compensated by their insurance companies.
If they did not have insurance, as a taxpayer, I choose to not compensate them for their shortsightedness.
If you live in a ditch, eventually you will get wet.
