Why do Trees Fall?

Trees amplify the beauty of Western New York, but time and weather can have an impact on their safety. Trees can fall for a variety of reasons, but Kevin T. Smith, a plant physiologist from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, states, “All trees have the potential to fail at some level of force from wind, snow, ice, either singly or in combination.” Several weather elements might cause a tree to fall over or a branch to fall, including:

1. Harsh winds;
2. Lightning strikes; and
3. Snow or ice accumulation on the branches.

Usually, harsh weather, especially wind, can cause serious damage to a tree with a preexisting structural problem. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation identifies the following defects as indicators that a tree that might fall more easily:

1. Broken branches or branches that are missing bark;
2. Splits or cracks in the tree trunk;
3. Evidence of dead wood;
4. Signs of root problems or leaning; or
5. Any other evidence of decay.

Trees can have structural problems for a multitude of reasons. Time, age, human interference, and the climate can cause defects in a tree. Some more specific causes of tree defects include:

1. Weather damage;
2. Nearby tree clearing or construction;
3. Insects, mold, spores, or fungi; or
4. Incorrect planting or improper soil choice.

Damaged trees can become dangerous quickly. If a tree falls over or a tree limb falls off of the tree, it can cause serious personal injury to anyone in the area. Following a tree fall accident, it is important that you or any other witnesses take pictures. Pictures will help with an investigation into whether the tree was damaged or dangerous prior to the accident.

If you, or someone you love, suffered a personal injury or death in a tree accident, you might be entitled to compensation.

Tree Accident Injuries

If a tree or tree limb falls on a person, vehicle, or structure, it can cause many different types of injuries. Some possible injuries from a falling tree or branch include:

1. Head injuries, including concussions or other traumatic brain injuries;
2. Lacerations, from the tree itself or from glass, metal or other materials involved in the accident;
3. Broken bones;
4. Eye injuries;
5. Neck and back injuries; or
6. Death.

These injuries can be life-changing and often have a long-term impact on your health and quality of life. Injuries from a falling tree or branch might require extended hospital stays and long-term medical care. Medical treatment can be costly, and the bills can add up quickly or take years to pay off. In addition to the financial burden, victims of a tree fall accident might also experience the following life-altering impacts:

1. Permanent loss of mobility or paralysis;
2. Permanent brain damage or loss of cognitive function;

Tree Accident Liability and Compensation

While falling trees and branches might appear to be the result of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, these accidents often could have been prevented if the property owner had taken the appropriate measures. Property owners can prevent tree or branch accidents by taking these steps:

1. Removing or attending to dead trees, dead tree limbs, and unsafe, dangling branches;
2. Performing routine maintenance of the property to check for unsafe conditions, especially after major weather events; and
3. Using the proper procedure to remove or prevent risks, such as hiring a professional tree service.

If a property owner fails to take care of their property and someone is injured as a result, the injured party might be entitled to compensation. Compensation in a tree accident personal injury case could include:

1. Payment of short-term and long-term medical bills;
2. Compensation for pain and suffering;
3. Payment of lost wages due to missed work; and
4. Compensation for wrongful death.
