Average Case Value of a Tree Branch Collapse Lawsuit in California<\/h1>\n
\n

We\u2019ve all heard of tragic situations where people are injured by trees that fall on top of them. But tree branches can do just as much damage, depending on their weight and size. To prevent such accidents, property owners must take all reasonable actions to ensure the stability of their trees. Routine inspections and maintenance are two of the easiest way to achieve this goal. Pruning tree branches, for example, or removing branches that are too long or heavy can prevent the vast majority of tree branch collapse injuries.<\/p>\n

When owners are negligent in these duties, tree branches can fly off during storms and windy weather and hit an innocent victim. Tree branches can also collapse and hit people\u2019s cars, which can result in devastating crushing injuries. If the branch is particularly large and heavy, victims can suffer lifelong injuries such as brain damage, paralysis, and death.<\/p>\n

What to do if You\u2019ve been Hurt by a Falling Tree Branch<\/span><\/p>\n

Seeing a doctor should be your first step if you\u2019ve been hurt by a falling tree branch. You might think about skipping this step if your injuries don\u2019t seem that serious, but this can be a big mistake. Many injuries start out superficial, but quickly get worse without medical intervention. You should also get help if you\u2019re experiencing emotional trauma, which is very common with falling tree branch accident victims. Without help from a licensed counselor, you may end up struggling with PTSD, depression, and other mental health disorders.<\/p>\n

In addition to medical treatment, you must seek legal advice from an experienced personal injury attorney. If the accident was the result of the property owner\u2019s negligence, you have the right to sue them for monetary compensation. But the lawsuit process varies depending on who is the registered owner of the property, which could be a homeowner, a private company, or a government agency (for public lands like parks and highways).<\/p>\n
