Personal Injury – Falling from a Tree - $190,000.00

The obvious question arises:  How can someone be compensated for falling from a tree?  While the answer is straightforward, the legal issues are complex.  Certain homeowners want to save a buck when performing necessary maintenance on their property – especially when that maintenance involves property that they are renting out and making a profit.   Some of these homeowners hire unlicensed workers to avoid the associated cost of hiring a licensed company.   When they do so, however, they are deemed to be the employers of the unlicensed workers, responsible for any and all work-related injuries.  Accordingly, when our clients were injured performing tree work for which they were provided no training or safety gear, and which clearly required a license, the homeowners were held legally responsible.
