What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? MN
My Dad was told by the neighbor to stop blowing snow in his yard, and that he was going to sue when his basement floods in the spring. The neighbor even claims he has video evidence. My Dad doesn’t intentionally blow snow into the neighbor’s yard. He likes to snow blow a path in the backyard for the dog, the snow gets pretty deep. My Dad aims the snow blower’s chute down as far as it goes, but some snow still makes it about 4 feet into the neighbor’s yard. The neighbor’s house is about 15-20 feet from the property line. I told my Dad I wouldn’t think the neighbor would have a case. How could they possibly determine it was the snow my Dad blew into the neighbor’s yard that caused the damage, and not the 1-2 feet of snow that fell there naturally. Plus more snow gets blown around. My Dad even offered to shovel some of the snow back into our yard, but the neighbor declined.
What do you all think?
Thanks.
