In the past when a tree fell and caused damage, it was considered an “Act of God”. As the law has evolved, property owners have been found to be liable for injuries and damages caused by their trees. Courts across the nation have found that property owners have a “Duty” to inspect and maintain their trees, and in some cases remove limbs or whole trees if they are a hazard or impede line-of-sight.

There has been a national progression of cases and state statutes that deal with premises liability and the duties owed to guests and the public regarding any foreseeable problems from trees.
