Hello, everyone...Saint_LB here. I have a question for you guys.

I recently left West Virginia, as some of you probably already know, and I found myself renting my wife's uncle's house in George County, Mississippi. We are only living here temporarily until we can find something closer to the Coast, but there's already been a situation.

I parked my boat, which I had just purchased a couple days prior to the incident, in my uncle's carport/shed behind his house. It was obviously where they had parked their vehicles in the past. The following day, a day that I was scheduled to go fishing but couldn't get anybody to wake-up besides me, an oak tree over 100 years old fell on the carport and broke the windshield on my boat. So far, nobody has stepped forward to pay. I hadn't taken the time to add my boat to my policy, so I had no coverage of my own.

I'd like to point-out that my uncle had already had to remove a branch due to damage from Katrina and, unbeknownst to me at the time, he knew that the possibility of the tree rotting and falling existed.

Should I feel like I'm just SOL, or do you believe that my uncle or his insurance should be responsible?

Note...I voted insurance company because that would be the best scenario for me.

Whether you think you can or think you can't...you're right!
