Types of Tree Falls and Their Impact

Understanding the different types of tree falls can help determine the extent of damage and the parties responsible.

Falling Branches

Branches can fall due to aging, storms, or disease. These falls often result in minor to severe injuries and property damage.

Uprooted Trees

When a tree is uprooted, it can cause extensive damage to property or even result in severe personal injury.

Toppling Trees

During storms, high winds can cause trees to fall completely. These tree falls are typically larger in scale and can lead to significant property damage.

Structural Weakness

Trees with structural weaknesses, such as leaning or rotting, are at a higher risk of falling. 

Steps to Take After a Tree Fall Accident

If you’ve experienced a tree fall accident, following these important steps can help protect your health, safety, and legal rights while you seek compensation.

Prioritize Safety

Immediately assess the situation to ensure you and others are out of harm's way. If there are any dangers like downed power lines or unstable branches, move to a safe location.

Get Medical Help

Even if you don't feel injured, seeking medical attention is essential. Some injuries from tree falls, like concussions or internal injuries, may not be immediately visible but can worsen over time.

Capture Evidence

Take photos of the scene, any injuries, and damage caused by the tree fall. Collect as much information as possible, including the time, location, and condition of the tree, as this will support your case.

Notify the Proper Authorities

Report the incident to local authorities or your property manager if the tree fall affects public areas or causes significant damage. Having an official report can strengthen your claim.

Consult a Legal Expert

Contact a lawyer experienced in tree fall accidents. They will help you understand your legal options, file claims, and negotiate with insurance companies to ensure you receive fair compensation.
