Fallen tree
A neighbors tree fell on my yard during a storm destroying a portion of my garage and outdoor fence. Who's liable?
Re: Fallen tree
Thank you for your question.
As is the case many times under the law, there is not necessarily a clear answer. Cases like this cases be very fact specific and further information may be helpful. Generally, the tree owner would be liable if they knew or should have known of a dangerous condition and had the opportunity to do something about it, as opposed to it being an �Act of God� for which there would not be liability.
Thank you again, and please feel free to contact us if we can provide further information.
