QuestionQUESTION: A neighbor has jasmine vines which have been allowed to overgrow their yard and overtake my fence. My fence was destroyed due to their negligence. It cost me $500.00 to have my fence replaced. Could I sue the the neighbor for this damage. I have photos available.
I am not sure if you can help as I could not find a category for my question.
Thank you,
Mary
ANSWER: Hello,
It is an established fact that vines can damage a fence in various ways,such as twining between the boards and causing splitting of the boards and by placing too much weight on the fence,causing its collapse,so it sounds like you may have a good case in court. Good luck. Let me know if I can be of further help.
