[WSBARP] Property Owner Liability for Failure to Maintain Property (Falling Trees)

[Samuel M. Meyler]

Listmates,

 

I'm looking for some caselaw on a property owner's liability to a neighbor
for a tree falling and damaging the neighbor's home.  Homeowner sent letters
to the neighbor advising that they were concerned about dead trees on the
neighbor's property and the potential that the trees could fall. and they
were right!  Under what legal theories might the property owner be held
liable?  Any helpful caselaw would be appreciated.  Thanks!

 

Sam
