We have heard this idea again and again.
Anybody have any real backing, verbiage and/or experience with this playing out as the neighbor/ neighbor's HO insurance having responsibility when a tree falls on a customer's house?
After a micro burst, there are two adjacent properties with tipped trees immediately adjacent to where 2 trees were root pulled, ending up on houses, leaning toward two neighbors' homes, left standing for weeks now, with more wind and rain still common. The one neighbor also has a 44" x 130' doug-fir where he's wondering "will it come back?".
I told him that he will lose his house/ property if that tree fails and kills someone or destroys a house. My 5 year old could look at the tree and know its dying. His HO Insurance will RUN AWAY from responsibility as he is being very negligent.
I recently had Farmers' Insurance call me about the root conditions (did it have root disease) on a $150K, no injury claim, 40" doug-fir on same property sliced throught the house, leaving a 6' deep root hole, after dirt had settled. 10' root wad, 18' wide. They were trying to get out of it.
I left a voice mail indicating the big three root diseases for the species, no indication of said diseases, indicated a healthy root system that I made a point of showing to the Farmers' Insurance adjuster.
Never got another inquiry.
My invoice PIF, and I saw a plumbing truck and flooring truck onsite working yesterday. Sounds like they stood behind their customer 100% (son is a good negotiator, doesn't hurt, and he plugged me to get extra for the stump when it didn't flop back down into the hole for easier grinding. Got an extra $1K on the overall invoice (didn't hurt that I was way considerably less than the next bid, and the company had already authorized to get work done with 1 bid).
