What is the name of your state? Florida, Miami-Dade County
Hurricane Katrina knocked down my otherwise perfectly stable mango tree, which landed on top of my neighbor's fence, knocking it down. My insurance will not cover it because it is not my fence. This has happened to many people I know, and they have agreements with their neighbors to split the repairs 50-50. But my neighbor is being uncooperative and wants me to pay for the repairs 100%. Since it was an "Act of God" (as the insurance people say), and not due to my negligence, am I legally responsible for my neighbor's fence?
