Q: Tree fell on my truck, landlord says insurance won't cover it. Do I have a claim?
A dying tree fell on my truck while it was parked at a property rented by my friend. The landlord claims their homeowner's insurance won't cover the damage, but I suspect this might not be true. I have pictures of the tree and the damage caused. What steps can I take to address this issue, and am I likely to have a claim against the landlord or their insurance?
A: A Tennessee attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for three weeks. It's difficult to say definitively what position the insurance carrier would take, based on the brief facts. If you consulted with a local attorney, they could probably better outline options after learning more about the policy, the tree, L-T arrangements, and other possible factors. Good luck
