What is the name of your state? Massachusetts
While on vacation, a large tree was struck by lightning. From what I have been told, the tree was split in half and leaning toward the neighbors house. The electic poles guide wires were holding it up. The tree was right on the property line..but mostly on my property. Without telling us, the neighbors called a tree company and had the tree cut down and removed. Now, they have presented us with a bill for $3600!!!! If we had been home, we would have called a different tree company and would have just had the tree dropped and would have cleaned it up ourselves. In the past few years we have had about 35 trees dropped and cleaned it up ourselves.
Do we have to pay this bill? We are willing to pay the cost of dropping the tree, but have a big problem with the rest.
Thanks for any advice!!
