Who to Contact When a Tree Falls on Your Car by the Roadside?
1 Answers
If your car is damaged by a falling tree, you should contact the relevant authorities for resolution. Below is an introduction to the relevant procedures when your car is hit by a tree: Contact the parking lot management: If your car is indeed damaged by a falling tree, the first thing you should do is contact the parking lot's management. Since you parked your car in this parking lot and paid a parking fee, the parking lot is responsible for any damages caused by trees falling within its premises. Contact your insurance company: However, if the incident occurs in a public, non-fee parking area, you should then contact your insurance company. Many car owners purchase insurance after buying their vehicles. Tree falls are considered natural disasters, so if you contact your insurance company and they determine that the damage meets the compensation criteria, the insurance company will cover all repair costs, and you won't have to pay out of pocket.
