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

Healthcare Provider Update: Healthcare Provider for Conduent: Conduent is recognized as a leading provider of healthcare payer services. The company operates extensively within the healthcare sector, facilitating a range of solutions that enhance operational efficiencies for payers. Healthcare Cost Increases in 2026: As we look ahead to 2026, substantial healthcare cost increases are anticipated, driven largely by sharp hikes in Affordable Care Act (ACA) premiums that could exceed 60% in some states. Insurers attribute these rate increases to a confluence of factors, including escalating medical costs, the potential loss of enhanced federal premium subsidies, and aggressive pricing from top insurers. This unsettling trend may lead to a staggering 75% increase in out-of-pocket premium costs for millions of consumers, constraining access to affordable healthcare options and significantly impacting budgeting for families nationwide.

Are Conduent 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.

Some neighbors may seek to bring legal action against you, though often that is unnecessary.

For those working at Conduent, determine what municipal laws are in place to cover such instances. Generally speaking, you are not responsible unless you knew, or should have known, about the danger. Proving what you knew or should have known can be difficult and costly in a court of law. It typically benefits both parties to arrive at a compromise that avoids an expensive legal process.
