Falling trees can cause catastrophic harm due to negligence by property owners, municipalities, contractors, or utility companies. You don’t have to face the aftermath alone.
Why Tree Falls Happen in New York City
Tree falls often result from neglect or failure to maintain aging or diseased trees. Common causes include:
- Dead or diseased trees left unpruned
- Storm damage worsening tree stability
- Poor soil or root damage due to construction or utilities
- Improper pruning or failure to remove hazardous limbs
- Aging urban trees, especially in Brooklyn’s historic neighborhoods
Who Can Be Held Responsible?
Property Owners
Owners must inspect and maintain trees on their land, including sidewalk-adjacent trees. Failure to act on visible hazards can lead to liability.
Municipalities
New York City and other public entities are responsible for trees in parks, streets, and sidewalks. They may be liable if they knew—or should have known—about the danger and did nothing.
Contractors and Utility Companies
Negligent tree service workers, landscapers, or utilities that damage trees or fail to maintain them properly may be held accountable.
