Act Of God Trampoline
If the trampoline was tied down will the owners be able to sue me and win.
Act of god trampoline. My property insurance doesn t cover this damage it was an act of god. However their insurer is saying their negligence was an act of god. I have very little money and although i own my property it has a lien on it.
Further in the conversation he informed me that he felt that he was not liable as it was an act of god that caused the trampoline to leave his yard and cause damage to my car. A neighbor did not secure their large trampoline after multiple warnings of a severe thunderstorm. I think the implication is that op doesn t believe the trampoline is what caused the damage to the flagpole and that it was the high winds.
Contrary to the majority of the non lawyer s opinions windstorms are indeed an act of god and humans are not generally responsible for damage caused thereby. The wind picked it up and threw it into our house fence and carport. He only has to do what is reasonable.
The collision broke a fence 2 windows the roof damaged our carport. There is a defense. Have you got some form of proof some record of the damage that is evidently a result of the wayward trampoline have you got any proof as to where it came from.
Your neighbour will not be liable for the damage caused to your property as no one is held responsible for damage such as storm damage caused by so called acts of god. Unless there is some local law or ordinance requiring an owner to secure trampolines or prohibiting them altogether or some such similar legislative liability you are not responsible. He stated that the person he spoke with informed him that their was nothing he could do and that the act of god clause stood.
If so how do they collect. Act of god which covers tornadoes storms floods etc. Generally you should look to your own insurance company to cover the costs of removing the tree and repairing the damage.
My trampoline allegedly caused damage to some vehicles during a windstorm. If you show what the neighbor did was not reasonable you might prevail. That as an act of god i was.
He is not required to anticipate such a catastrophe sand guarantee anything.
