    From a different perspective ( I was a tree surgeon for 20 years but now drive a lorry !) If a lorry (or bus ) does collide with a tree branch /trunk that is less than 5.2 metres above the highway and it results in damage to said vehicle is the owner of the tree liable ? I ask this as several times a year a lorry limps back to our depot in a sorry state , but the company insurers have stated that the owner of the tree has to be aware that the tree is causing an obstruction and damage must have occurred previously to have any hope of succeeding with a claim . Has any one known of a claim being made against a tree owner in these circumstances ? or can a tree owner claim for damage caused to a tree by a lorry ?
