This subreddit is for tree law enthusiasts who enjoy browsing a list of tree law stories from other locations (subreddits, news articles, etc), and is not the best place to receive answers to questions about what the law is. There are better places for that.
If you're attempting to understand more about tree law in regards to a particular situation, please redirect your question to /r/legaladvice for the US, or the appropriate legal advice subreddit for your location, and then feel free to crosspost that thread here for posterity.
If you're attempting to understand more about trees in regards to a particular situation, please redirect your question to /r/forestry for additional information on tree health and related topics to trees.
This comment is simply a reminder placed on every post to /r/treelaw, it does not mean your post was censored or removed.
you would do well to get a police report, so that you have a propert record.
You need quotes for all of the damages + repairs. Get them this week. Get an ISA TRAQ arb to decide if the tree wounds are eventually-mortal. if so, ASCA TPAQ arb for real estate value impact.
Determine if the costs sum up to a criminal charge, rather than a civil dispute. Would it become criminal if your neighbors costs were included? If so, i think you can make an enjoined suit.
Criminal charges can move very quickly, stop construction, etc. Things that will lead them to settle at max-value in order to prevent the project not coming to fruition. Contact a municipal (or district) magistrate / judge's office to determine what you can file personally. These suits can happen very fast, which is what you need.
They wont' care about you, and will try to finish and evacuate the site as soon as possible. You'll have a very hard time then, unless they're a huge local name. Do not let them delay you at all, and do not cut them slack - your kindness here will likely be your regrets later. Because of the likely chance they flee, you want to file first (since 'they are so hard to get ahold of'), and offer to dismiss the case if they settle at full cost cash. You can threaten to file it at the city, if they balk, since this can tie them up longer, and cause them most costs in paying for your legal fees (since they're in the wrong)
You'll have your legal action scouts badge by the end of all this.
I worked in land development and general construction in Texas on the admin side and have experienced this.
You need to notify the GC whose contact information will be found on a board at the site entrance about the damage, and also follow the advice other posters have given you regarding getting/calculating damage estimates.
Depending on who the GC is you'll either get paid quick and easy no hassle or you'll be in for a fight. I worked for the quick and easy no hassle companies who want to be good neighbors. It's just that even the best companies can have absolute goobers working on a site on any given day and things like this happen.
