Technically I would bet their insurance company won't speak with you. I had a neighbors house catch on fire and it broke one of my windows. Their insurance adjustor said my home insurance needed to handle it which would mean having to use my deductable. If they can work it outside of insurance, then do it. Just keep the pics handy in case you need to use insurance. Good luck!

I'd be surprised if he had insurance. No home (being torn down) usually means no policy.

If they did have insurance would their policy cover them? Are they a licenced arborist? Their insurance might just tell them to pound sand for cutting down a tree without being licenced.

Hope it works out and I'm glad the car wasn't in the tent...

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/jsharp.gif) Too bad about the Barbie! Here's a pic of my "tent" (top is steel now) in November '05. I had decided NOT to put the Alaska Blue '74 in there the day before this happened...Attached Image Eucalyptus tree lost a little (12") limb, had the whole tree removed a week later.

Just be careful they don't screw you. My buddy's neighbors tree fell into HIS yard and crushed his shed and his Koi pond. My buddys homeowners insurance got stuck with the bill since it landed in his yard. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)



It's kind of interesting but that is the way it works with insurance when a tree falls on it's own accord. I guess they consider a tree falling an "act of god".

My tree fell and crushed a common fence. My insurance told me that they would only pay for half the fence and that my neighbors were responsible for the other half. If anything in their yard had been broken it would have been on their insurance.

In this case, since someone was cutting down the tree, it sounds like the tree contractor should cover the damage.

Building these monster houses in existing neighborhoods with small lots is just wrong IMO. I just went through this with the neighbors behind me. They wanted to put a 25 foot tall structure 15 feet from our rear fence. Fortunately the neighbor lost in design review and it's now 35 feet from the rear fence. They just poured the foundation and it just looks like it's going to be huge.

You can at least take solace in the fact that your neighbor's new house is constructed entirely from cheap ass ply wood! Suckers!

I agree, the whole quaint character of our street is changing from what attracted us to this area. There are now about 15% new homes on our street and this is or one of the biggest. The Building Code allows for 45% sq ft and this lot is 10k+ so all is legal and us neighbors can't do a thing about it. The flag lot to our right requires the Planning Dept and neighborhood approval but builders are gaining more power to build as they seem fit. The city isn't about to impede "progress" along with building fees and higher taxes are they? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Looks like that tree was being strangled by ivy-can affect the health of the tree and add an enormous amt of weight!(more than you think).


exactly, that tree did not just fall over, it was killed by neglect hope they are insured adequately
