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

Healthcare Provider Update: Healthcare Provider for ON Semiconductor ON Semiconductor partners with various health insurance providers to administer employee healthcare benefits. While the specific provider may vary based on location and employee needs, large national insurers such as UnitedHealthcare and Anthem BlueCross BlueShield are often utilized by companies of ON Semiconductor's size. This partnership emphasizes ON Semiconductor's commitment to providing comprehensive healthcare benefits to its workforce. Potential Healthcare Cost Increases in 2026 As we look ahead to 2026, ON Semiconductor, along with other companies, may face substantial increases in healthcare costs due to anticipated record hikes in premiums for Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace plans. Reports indicate that some states could experience premium increases over 60%, driven by factors such as rising medical costs and the potential expiration of enhanced federal premium subsidies. This perfect storm of challenges is expected to push out-of-pocket premiums up by 75% or more for a significant number of enrollees, thereby amplifying the financial burden on employers and employees alike. Companies like ON Semiconductor will need to prepare for these increased costs in their healthcare budgets, particularly as the healthcare landscape continues to evolve dramatically.

Are ON Semiconductor 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.

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.
