ReplyDeleteSeveral years ago I had a big tree from my neighbors yard fall into my yard and house. I learned that I had to pay for the damage and to have the tree removed at my expense (or my insurance). That surprised me since it was not in my yard. I've read this is true. In fact I asked my lawyer.

ReplyDeleteWait till he finds out that it is much cheaper for his insurance company to just make him pay his deductable than to try and track down the other guys insurance.
Brian will get screwed.
It doesn't matter if the neighbor looked out the door and said "sorry about that". His insurance wouldn't pay for it. Brians insurance covers this - plain and simple.
