• Fiber company caused the removal of two 50ft Norway Spruce trees. Is it worth pursuing?

• It's so sad to watch a tree's slow demise! Oftentimes it can take years for them to actually fall over. But you don't want to take the risk that the tree will actually topple over during a storm or something, which happens all the time, even to the strongest of trees. At least this family is trying to address the issue before it becomes a way bigger problem!

• I imagine as a fiber company worker, you get used to the wear and tear that your job entails. They're out there breaking ground all the time. Maybe they've lost their sensitivity toward actual customers and their property! That doesn't make what they did okay!

  Now that would be an interesting outcome! Apparently treble law means that if you win your case, you get awarded 3x more than the actual damages you incurred. Maybe this person's family could get 6 new trees instead of 2! I mean, probably it'll just be money. But it'd be cute if it was trees. 

• It's a beautiful yard! And what a lovely tree, this would be a true loss if it had to be removed

• Quite a few urged this person to get litigious

  They messed with their Mom's property, you can't just accept that and move on as if it never happened!

• If you can't save the trees, at least get enough money to get yourself a fresh garden or something

• It's a valuable tree, and it absolutely was not leaning! Just look at that picture for proof
