Insurance Liability with Trees

Continuing our experience with insurance claims, are you aware that a tree falling on your car is not the responsibility of the owner of the tree? Lydia Merrill, proprietor of Ray White Beecroft, remembers this well from when a huge tree mashed her car parked in the street in Lane Cove one afternoon some years ago. Fortunately her car was insured and she was able to claim. One of our tenants had his car, parked in the drive of his rental property, damaged by a tree branch falling, and the owner's insurance has denied a claim.
Just one of the hazards of living in a beautiful tree-lined suburb like Beecroft. Make sure your car is insured, and if you intend to park it off the public road, make sure the insurance cover includes that.
