No, In the united States no one is liable for fallen trees. It's considered a natural occurrence. Trees fall all the time, it's normal, therefore no one is responsible..

Who is resposible when tree falls and pulls down neighbors electrical wiring and damages house?

The neighbor is responsible for his own property. If your tree fell on his house, he is responsible for the damage. That is how homeowners insurance works. * No one is "legally" responsible if it was a result of a natural occurrance. The neighbor whose tree fell and damaged the other person's property cannot be held accountable for a situation that was not in his or her control. If the tree fell as a result of a storm, the person whose property was damaged should claim it on their homeowner's insurance is possible. If it fell and damaged property due to it being trimmed or removed, the liability lies with the person who was taking the action. It would be a nice gesture if the neighbor who owned the tree agreed to share the damage cost, but in the majority of cases he or she cannot be held legally liable.

It can, if you fell because of an unsafe condition - but check to see if your employer is responsible for maintenance, etc. If not, it makes your claim harder, though your employer is responsible for providing a safe path to enter & exit your place of business. You may also (or instead) have a claim against the property owner.


Whose responsibility is it when a tree falls on your property?

Nobody is liable for an act of nature. It does not matter who owned the tree. If a tree falls on your house just call your insurance company.

If it's partially on your property and partially on the property of another, then each property owner is responsible for removing that part on their own property.

If a tree limb from my rental home fell on my car and damaged it who should pay?

Your car insurance would cover your damages.A property owner is not liable for acts of nature anyways and home insurance policies do not cover automobiles.AnswerYou would be responsible for the upkeep of the garden (and trees) unless there is something different specified in your lease. That would make you responsible for any damage caused by a falling limb. If your car is insured against accidental damage, then you could possibly make a claim as the earlier answer suggests. If not then you will have to pay for any repairs required.
