A: A Louisiana attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. Electric utilities usually have the right to remove foliage and other vegetation for safety or access reasons with their equipment. An attorney would probably want to know additional details in answering your question. Good luck

A: Addendum - A Louisiana attorney should advise on this issue, but keep in mind that in general, these types of claims could possibly involve notice of claim elements. In other words, short filing deadlines, if applicable. Good luck
