Manage episode 480901866 series 3652477
Can you sue if a tree falls and injures you? What if it crashes onto your car during a drive, or causes serious damage to your property? In this episode, we walk through a real case where a massive tree came down during a test drive, leading to major injuries and a totaled vehicle and yes, a successful legal claim.
We explore who can be held liable when a tree falls: is it the city, a neighbor, or the private landowner? You'll hear how we used evidence like Google Maps history and expert testimony from a certified arborist to prove the tree had been neglected for years. We also discuss how the condition of the tree. Understanding if it was dead or healthy can drastically change the outcome of a case, and what role insurance may play in these claims.
If you’ve been hurt by a fallen tree or are dealing with expensive property damage, this episode will help you understand your legal rights and the next steps to take.
