Tree limbs falling January 2017
While it is possible to be hurt at any time, we have a unique situation here in LA in early 2017. After a period of little rain, we are now getting hammered with significant rainfalls.
Trees and limbs which are prone to falling will be coming down, especially over the next several days as significant storms roll through.

Act of God, or Negligence?
In many cases, trees and limbs which fall down were easily predictable. Propertry owners have a duty to care for and inspect trees on their property. If they knew, or if they should have known, that a tree on their property was a hazard, they may be held liable for damages when the tree or limb falls to the ground, severely injuring or even killing someone.
Their insurer may want you to believe that the fallen limb was an Act of God. Lightning crashing down from the sky and snapping a limb off which then lands on you would be considered an Act of God. A tree limb which is rotten and waiting to fall as soon as a good rain or gust of wind knocks it down may have been easily preventable.
