What is the name of your state? I live in Florida. A large oak tree of my neighbors fell into my yard, damaging my fence and shed. They refuse to pay for any of the damages or tree removal, saying it was an aact of God. My insurance deductible is high. Do I have any recourse? When I have the tree cut, up can I put the debris in their yard since it is their property? At least I would not have to pay for the removal.
Was this huirricne related damage? You may have to see what both homeowners policies say, what your local ordinances say, if there is any FEMA relief.
It may be condisered an act of God. Check to see if the tree was sound and appropriately maintained, if not then you might have somehting beyond an act of God.
If the fence is in common he has to share the cost of repair.
Many cities have tree and storm related debries removal following the storm, but lacking that it was his tree to start with so it could just as easily be an act of God that it found it's way back to his property.
