Hiring a tree surgeon.

A tree is said to be owned by, and thus the responsibility of, the person on whose land it stands. If a tree is close to a border, the ownership lies with whoevers land the tree was planted on. Anyone who has a tree in the garden also has the responsibility of keeping them as safe as possible as well as doing everything they possibly can to ensure that it does not cause any harm to people or damage any property.

A lot of trees do in fact possess the ability to biologically adapt themselves to the environment in which they live and can strengthen themselves against the predominant winds and weather conditions. It will be mainly during severe or abnormal climatic conditions that trees are damaged or killed.

Not all tree owners realise that they are responsible for the maintenance of all the trees on their land, they are also responsible for ensuring that the trees are reasonably secure from doing damage to surrounding properties. There are actually a variety of procedures that tree owners should take to minimise their liability for any damage caused.

A quick visual inspection can help to spot any trees showing signs of decay or structural weak spots. If any tree within your garden is dead or showing signs of decay or structural weaknesses, then you will need to carry out the required action in making that tree as safe as possible. A professional tree surveyor can do a tree report and advise you on the appropriate action neede to make your tree safe, if the advice given is followed then you will be minimizing your liability. He might suggest that you hire a qualified tree surgeon or arborist. Remember, if specialist advice is sought, then it needs to be followed, failure to act upon their advice might be interpreted as negligence on your part if any subsequent damage is found.

Your insurance may cover damage attributable to trees so it may well be a very good idea to call them and ask. If in the event tree damage is not covered, then it is be possible to take out this type of cover seperately.

If a tree hazard has been discovered and reported to you by a neighbour for example, then it also becomes the tree owner’s responsibility to remedy the problem. So regardless of whether a tree owner takes all necessary precautions to keep the trees safe, causing harm to people, animals or property can still occur, particularly during severe weather. Heavy snow and high winds are a particular threat to trees. A tree owner is not necessarily expected to possess the knowledge of a qualified arboriculturist, but they can be expected to appoint a competent person to act on their behalf. A tree owner is found to be negligent if he or she fails to undertake all necessary action, or undertakes any action causing harm to people, animals or property.

Negligence may include:

 Failing to get their trees inspected on a regular basis.

Refusing to remedy problems that have previously been identified.

Carrying out incompetent pruning.

Disturbing a trees stability by cutting the roots.

You will not be found negligent should an ‘Act of God’ occur: These Include:

Failure of a tree after being subject to a ‘reasonably careful inspection’ as long as the appropriate action has been taken.

Failure of a tree as a result of disease or weakness which would not be visible during an examination.

Failure of a tree as a result of exceptionally severe weather.

To sum thing up, the answer is not always as straightforward as it may first appear. A person may be found liable if their tree causes damage, but liability must be determined by the courts. Generally, liability in such cases is determined by a test of negligence and that a landowner should be maintaining his/her property that would prevent injury to people or property.
