And if something of yours had got broken, you might be advised to
claim off *your* insurance? Not everyone get's the 'sorry, my fault,
let me sort that out for you' ethic.

When a car crashes into mine, their insurance pays, not mine!

Who was talking about cars?

It's the same with everything, the person at faults pays up.

Not necessarily with acts of nature with big storms unless
you have been negligent.

Since god or nature cannot possibly pay up, then yeah, obviously. But if
it's due to a person doing something wrong, then of course they should pay.

But not if a strong wind brought down the tree, the person whose tree it is
is not at fault normally.

If my tree fell down and went through my neighbour's window, she
shouldn't
expect her insurance to pay, and raise her premium. The money should
come
from me or my insurance.

Legally that is just plain wrong.

No it isn't. I'm at fault for having a tree that is too tall for being
that close to her house.

Legally that is just plain wrong.

Only if she has had a lawyer write a request that he take down a
dangerous tree does she have a leg to stand on.

Surely I'm being totally and utterly negligent in allowing my property to be likely to damage hers? It's like parking my car at the top of a hill, facing towards somebody's house, and having a ****ty handbrake. If the car hits the house, it was my fault!
