🌳 Concerned about tree hazards on your Baton Rouge or nearby property? Louisiana law generally holds property owners responsible for maintaining their trees. This means addressing potential issues before they cause problems. Liability can arise from neglecting dead or dying trees, overhanging branches that could fall, and of course, dealing with fallen trees themselves. If negligence is proven, you could be held responsible for resulting damage. However, if a tree falls due to an "Act of God" like a major storm, your own insurance typically covers the damage, but dead or dying trees often are exempt. Remember, boundary trees come with shared responsibility.
