Depends on the state

Different states have different rules about liability when a tree falls. Most midwest states it is where it lands is responsible unless the tree was identified as a risk to the landowner it was growing on before it fell and they did nothing about it.

I would understand that before doing anything, then adapt your plans accordingly.

You probably won't get any insurance money. It is possible that his will -- reestuart 08/07/2020 12:04PM

His insurance likely isn't paying your damage -- bigbadbird 08/07/2020 11:49AM

You must live on the other side of my neighbor -- TomTurkey 08/07/2020 12:11PM

We moved - but before we did - I put up ONE 8 foot panel -- bigbadbird 08/07/2020 12:15PM

I had one fall the other way once also -- bigbadbird 08/07/2020 11:56AM

Thanks. -- s.mill hokie 08/07/2020 11:54AM

If tree was alive and storm knocked it over, you are each responsible -- Stork 08/07/2020 11:18AM

If alive? I thought that meant he DOES cover debris removal. Are you sure? -- 48zip 08/07/2020 12:46PM

No. Not no coverage. Liability if you have a dead tree and knew it. No -- RhinoVT 08/07/2020 1:22PM
