Not too widely known, but tree accidents are somewhat more common than you may expect. According to the Tree Care Industry Association, there were a reported 153 tree-care occupational related incidents in 2016 where 92 of them were fatal. If you or a loved one has been injured or died in a tree accident, you may consider filing a premises liability lawsuit.
Improperly maintained trees or precariously placed trees on one’s property can cause people to suffer injuries from falling branches, trunks as a whole, or tripping over a large tree’s roots. When one suffers an injury from a falling branch or trunk, if not fatal, it can cause serious injury, such as concussions, traumatic brain injury, broken or fractured bones, and paralysis. These types of injuries, specifically, can cause serious injury to the victim and require extensive medical treatment which can rack up a hefty bill.
However, premises liability laws allow you to sue the property owner where the incident occurred to recover the damages that you suffered. Property owners owe a duty of care through reasonable means to those who enter it. When this duty is breached and you can prove that your injuries are a direct result of the property’s owner’s failure to keep people safe, then you should have a viable claim.
