How To Approach Your Neighbour About Damages

How should I approach my neighbor about damages?

You want to have your damages as well documented as you can. If a tree has fallen on part of your house, you want to have one contractor's estimate at a minimum and preferably two or three to be able to show your neighbor. You want to have something tangible if you can to show him what your actual costs are going to be, so that you can justifiably ask him to compensate you. The more prepared you are, and the more you've thought through it, the better that conversation is likely to go where you approach your neighbor about damages.
