So..... I'm in the thick of this right now. 2+ years ago I told the neighbor I was worried about his trees falling on my house. Last week, sure enough, a limb fell and took out the power pole and part of the fence.. The neighbor and I get along pretty good, he was over the next day and cleaned up the limbs and he is repairing the fence himself. I called the electrician he recommended and the power is back on.
I spoke to his insurance "agent" and she was a *****. One thing led to another and she denied the claim.
"The tree that caused the damage to your property had no obvious health conditions prior to the loss. There was no prior notice of concern from any outside parties. Therefore, we must deny your claim for damages resulting from this loss."
At this time, I'm pretty sure he is going to pay for the electrician anyway. I have extensive documentation of everything and tons of pics. Just in case....

Which insurance company?
I know for a fact if there is a neighbors tree draping over onto your property line you can cut that part of the tree off.
I hate trees that can fall on stuff and cause damage.
I consider all trees potential falling trees so plant them where if they fall they hit nothing.

Its a tree.
If you like your trees, fine, keep them clearly on your property.
A tree on the property line IMO is fair game to come down.
Can I sue everyone around me for the leaves that fall off their trees and litter up my place? Now that would be a thread. LOL

Neighbor behind me took out some Cottonwood trees in the easement that irritated the neighborhood and while He was at it had the crew remove a good sized pine tree also in the easement that a widow lady had planted and nurtured for over 10 years. She didn't want trouble so she didn't say anything but it was rude, and a slap in the face to the widow even though it was in the easement. I would have challenged him on his actions.
I heard this story about a guy that was concerned about a large tree growing on his neighbor’s property between their houses. The tree was causing costly plumbing issues at the guy’s house and posed a threat to both houses in the event of a bad storm. The guy, who happens to do tree work for a living, talks to the neighbor about his concerns and offers to remove the tree for free. The neighbor flat refuses the offer. So, the guy explains to the neighbor that he’s going to dig a trench on his property between the houses and fill the trench with copper sulfate which will stop the tree roots from causing further damage to the house plumbing and will likely kill the neighbor’s tree. The neighbor would then be left footing the entire bill for removing a very large tree. It didn’t take the neighbor long to take the guy up on his offer to remove the tree.
A few things here......
- Agent or adjustor? Big difference.
- I'm lost here on her response, what does the health of the tree have to do with anything if it has already fallen on your property?
- What company?
What if the power company or any other utility had cut down the pine tree?
If It is in a easement it can be removed at any time, therefore do not plant anything or build anything within easement you do not want torn down, cut down or moved
Most all platts have building set backs clearly marked, stay within those lines for anything you want to keep.
It’s a matter of who is allowed to cut things down in an easement.
now, no idea why anyone would complain about cotton woods coming down. Those are awful.
