 Re: Fallen trees| negligence vs Act of God
Perfectly healthy defect-less trees fail too in storms.
It's all about responsible tree ownership.
However in saying that large trees I would say are more likely to fail and do more damage. So when some-one has a 200' euc close to the house, healthy, no defects it is still more likely to lose something over a 30' tree.
How often you get asked if a huge tree is safe? Be very careful how you answer that to the customer. Even healthy trees fail.
Defective trees, especially after it's been brought to the owners notice go down the negligence area. Most likely only persued for such in injury cases. |
