So, What To Do When A Tree Falls On You?
If you sustained an injury caused by any of the
above-mentioned direct and indirect dangers posed
by falling trees, call 911 to treat and document
your injuries. Afterward, get in touch with an
experienced personal injury attorney to
investigate the cause of the trees collapse and
determine the liability in your particular
case. Determining someone elses liability when
an injury was caused by a trees fall may be
practically impossible without having a personal
injury attorney on board to launch an independent
investigation into your case.
