Liability of Staatsbosbeheer: Get free advice!

Questioner

Last Thursday, February 23rd around 12 o'clock my wife was hit by a dead tree that fell in the forest. It had few roots. She was walking with two dogs. At the time of the accident, there was no storm yet. Miraculously, she did not end up under the tree. A dog was later found dead along the road. To what extent can we hold Staatsbosbeheer liable for overdue maintenance?

Lawyer

Liability can always be held, but what is important is that Staatsbosbeheer has not fulfilled its duty of care. This may be because trees have not been properly maintained, or should have been noticed earlier. Failure to keep paths clean with trees in the vicinity can also contribute to liability. If this is the case and this can be attributed to them, then the chance of success is great.
