If tree limb falls into private yard from commercial property tree, and does damage a building. Who pays for damage, and who pays for tree removal? If no bldg damage, who pays for tree removal? If limb (or tree) falls into my yard from my neighbors and damages my property, who pays for damage and who pays for tree removal. If neighbor's tree falls into my yard, but does no damage to my property (just makes a mess), who pays for tree removal? Concensus of some of my co-workers is that the owner of the tree isn't liable for anything, nor is his insurance company. We are in NJ, and I know State Laws vary, but this last bit of thinking doesn't seem logical. Ok you CPCU's, ARM's, and CIC's put on your thinking caps. Thanks.

I guess my question is if your a commercial business in a average sized town, isn't it prudent to keep your trees cut back to avoid confrontation with residential neighbors? She could go to the local building dept and complain. She sounded kind of old on the phone, so she may be a senior citizen with limited funds. Oh by the way, we are an insurance agency and the tree borders our parking lot and hangs over a fence into her yard
