Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

Tree root damage to common drive way?
Our commerical neighbor has 2 large pine trees whose roots are causing damage to the common driveway for our 6 homes. Is he responsible for the repair of the damage and corrections to stop furture damage? He is aware of the damage and has repaired damage to his own parking lot.

Yes they are responsible and their insurance would cover it.

This is just general information. No representations are made and no attorney client relationship is established by this communication. In most matters there are strict time limitations within which actions may be taken or your rights will be compromised. We are not taking any action on your matter and will not be considered your attorney or tax representative until both you and we have signed a fee agreement.

We, therefore will take no action on your behalf unless a written retainer agreement is signed. There are strict deadlines, called statutes of limitation, within which claims or lawsuits must be filed. Therefore, if you do not retain SELIKLAW, you should immediately seek the services of another attorney or other advisor.
