Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Florida

Re: Tree Debris

NOTE: This communication is not intended as and should not be interpreted as legal advice. Rather, it is intended solely as a general discussion of legal principles. You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

If you allowed someone on your property to remove another neighbor's tree (which I have to guess at because you did not say), then the tree surgeon should be responsible to repair any damage to your lawn and to remove all debris. Normally, this is agreed to in advance but I believe a court would probably require it if that is what it came to.
