 Lawsuits?
Hello, and thanks for all the help. I consulted with a local arborist, he told me there is at best even odds of saving the tree due to extensive feeder damage.
Do arborists get summoned as witnesses in lawsuits often? The man would not take my money and was upset that I did not tell him the damage was done by a paver company. He said he was 62 years old and wanted to retire to Florida, and did not want to be summoned back up here in six years to give testimony. He would not treat the tree, would not cut it down, and would not accept payment for the walk-through. I do live in New York, the most litiginous state in the worlds most litiginous nation, but are things really this bad? He said if he was summoned, he would not be paid for his time, and would not be compensated for travel or accommodations. This can't be true? |
