Tree Limb Impact Claim Case Study
A tree limb broke and impacted a policyholder’s detached garage after a summer storm swept through their neighborhood. To determine the scope of damage, the adjuster handling the claim sought an expert assessment from Donan’s licensed engineers.
Request the Tree Limb Impact Case Study to find out how the engineer separated historical damage from the claimed event and used on-site evidence and satellite imagery to provide the adjuster with a report rooted in the scientific method.
You’ll also learn how the engineer:
- Verified the tree from which the limb fell was on a neighboring property
- Established that impact damage made one garage wall susceptible to displacement
- Determined what caused cracks in the walls and the unlevel floor slab
