Antero Resources Employees: Navigating the Financial Implications of Fallen Tree Damage on Your Property

Healthcare Provider Update: Healthcare Provider for Antero Resources: Antero Resources employees primarily receive their healthcare coverage through the Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace. This allows them to navigate various plans and select options that best suit their individual and family needs. Potential Healthcare Cost Increases in 2026: As Antero Resources employees prepare for 2026, they may encounter significant healthcare cost increases driven by anticipated surges in ACA premiums. Some states could witness rate hikes exceeding 60%, primarily due to the expiration of enhanced federal premium subsidies that currently mitigate costs for many consumers. This perfect storm of rising medical expenses, coupled with aggressive pricing from insurers, could result in over 75% of policyholders facing substantially higher out-of-pocket expenses. As healthcare affordability becomes a pressing concern, it is vital for employees to assess and adapt their coverage strategies ahead of the impending hikes. Click here to learn more

Are Antero Resources employees responsible for the damage caused by a tree on their property that hits their neighbor’s home or other insured structure, such as a garage or shed?

In most cases, the answer is “no.”

When such damage occurs to your neighbor’s home due to forces outside your control (e.g., weather events), your neighbors may have to file a claim with their insurer to receive a reimbursement for the damage a fallen down tree caused.

There is one exception, however.

If it is determined that the tree damage stems from your negligence (e.g., dead limbs that you refused to cut down, or you chose to trim your tree as a weekend project), then the neighbor’s insurer may come after you to recover their loss—a process called subrogation.¹

You may want to check your policy or speak to your insurance agent to ascertain if your homeowner's policy covers your liability in cases of negligence.
