A few general questions, maybe it will lead to a conversation. Say all these situations happen in California.
-You top a tree, it rots, and falls on something or somebody. Is the tree company liable, is the home owner liable?
-You have a seemingly healthy tree, but a bad wind storm puts it in your neighbors living room. Whose insurance picks up the tab?
-You advice a customer to remove a tree because it's hazardous. They don't, it falls, and hurts somebody. Are they liable; are you liable?
-You plant a tree in the corner of your yard, and it gets big. A drunk slams into it killing himself. Did you create a public hazard.
Don't know if there is a publication that covers these kind of topics or not, if somebody knows of one, I would like to know about it.
