Legal Question
Could neighbor be held partially at fault for not trimming trees?
My son and his friend were riding their dirt bikes when another
motorcycle,( traveling in excess of 50 mph.)struck my son's friends
motorcycle head on which hurled both riders and their bikes into the air.
The first rider and his bike then struck my son who was riding (following)
behind his friend. All three riders were airlifted to trauma centers. The
first rider died while in transport. My son and his friend were flown to
Loma Linda University Hospital. My son's friend was treated and released
later that evening. Although my son is improving, he remains in the I.C.U.
The Hwy patrol said a contributing factor was a large bank of trees that may have inhibited the riders view to see each other clearly. The trees grow through my neighbors fence. It is so dense it causes the road to narrow. Could my neighbor be held partly accountable for not trimming back the tree's, keeping them out of the roadway? We live in a Very rural unincorporated area of San Bernardino county. On a Dirt road that is not county maintained.
Thank you
