Scenario
When multiple people are injured by the same tree or falling limb, it’s common to wonder whether your individual claim still matters. The reality is that it does—and pursuing claims together can actually help strengthen the overall case.
Why Having Multiple Victims Can Strengthen a Case
- Shared Evidence – Multiple accounts, photos, and medical reports reinforce the incident’s severity.
- Resource Pooling – Appointing co-counsel and sharing expert costs (arborists, meteorologists) enhances investigative depth.
- Consistent Storytelling – Coordinated depositions and testimony create a unified narrative of negligence.
Our Experience
We’ve managed group claims involving homeowners, cities, and public utilities—coordinating expert teams effectively. Even with multiple victims, verdicts remained robust, and every claimant received fair compensation.
Firm Verdict Spotlight
An $8.16 million verdict achieved by our firm in a recent case illustrates just how serious tree failures can be when proper care is ignored. Two women were badly injured when a tree fell at a local farmers market. Our team uncovered that the tree had been planted incorrectly years earlier and later damaged during a city beautification project. Despite clear warning signs, no one followed up with an inspection to check for safety risks. At Casper, Meadows, Schwartz & Cook, we hold property owners and public entities accountable when preventable hazards cause harm.
Takeaway
Being one of many injured doesn’t dilute your claim—it amplifies it. We know how to organize, unify, and advocate for groups in treefall accidents. To understand how this works for you—and your co-victims—schedule a no-fee case review.
