Can Overgrown Trees Cause Single-Vehicle Crash?

Yes, they can. However, using this as a legal argument can be difficult. If you were involved in a single-vehicle crash and collided with a tree in the process, you have to be able to prove that the condition of the tree was the only factor of your incident and your negligence has little to no contribution. This can be difficult to prove if the police report says otherwise. However, there are circumstances where you can use overgrown trees in a legal context. An example would be when a tree branch from a tree fell on your vehicle, causing you to lose control of your vehicle. In this situation, you can file a claim based on premise liability.
