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

Healthcare Provider Update: Healthcare Provider for PulteGroup PulteGroup's healthcare benefits for employees are often structured through the PulteGroup 401(k) Savings Plan in conjunction with various health insurance plans, where specific healthcare providers can vary by region. As of 2025, PulteGroup employees typically access health coverage via national insurers which can include UnitedHealthcare, Anthem, and others that offer both group and individual market plans under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Potential Healthcare Cost Increases in 2026 In 2026, PulteGroup employees may face significant increases in health insurance costs as the ACA marketplace braces for premium hikes that could exceed 60% in certain states. This surge is influenced by the potential expiration of enhanced federal premium subsidies, prompting a drastic rise in out-of-pocket expenses for nearly 92% of policyholders. Furthermore, rising healthcare costs, particularly for medical services and prescription drugs, are likely to exacerbate financial burdens on individuals and families in 2026. As these challenges loom, careful review of health plan options will be essential for employees seeking to mitigate the impact of escalating healthcare expenses., 'sources': [], 'images': [] Click here to learn more

Are PulteGroup 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.
