Why Failing to Take Care of Your Trees Could Cost you Dear

Did you realise that if a tree on your land causes damage to either your home or a neighbour’s, that you could be liable for paying to repair that damage? Worse still, you may not be covered on your home insurance for the cost of those repairs if you haven’t been taking steps to maintain your trees and ensure they are safe.

It’s usually after a storm or during high winds that you discover there was something wrong with your trees. It’s not uncommon to see branches fall or entire trees uprooted during such events. Damage can be incredibly expensive, and if a person is injured as a result, this could end up with you being liable to pay personal injury compensation.

Many people don’t realise that they are liable to maintain the trees on their land, and that if they cannot prove they have done so, they will never be covered by any insurance policy should an issue arise.

This is why it is vital to monitor the state of the trees on your land. It is your responsibility to have them checked and maintained so that there’s no risk of injury or damage to property.
