Walgreens Boots Alliance Employees: Navigating the Financial Implications of Fallen Tree Damage on Your Property

The company partners with various insurance and healthcare providers to offer accessible pharmacy services, health and wellness products, and integrated healthcare solutions aimed at enhancing patient care. Potential Healthcare Cost Increases in 2026 In 2026, employees of Walgreens Boots Alliance are likely to face significant increases in healthcare costs as insurance premiums for ACA marketplace plans are projected to rise sharply, in some instances exceeding 60%. With the potential expiration of enhanced federal subsidies, many enrollees may see their out-of-pocket costs escalate by over 75%. Coupled with rising medical costs driven by inflation and increased demand for expensive treatments, employees need to be proactive in understanding their health benefits and planning accordingly to manage these anticipated financial burdens.

Are Walgreens Boots Alliance 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.

For those working at Walgreens Boots Alliance, 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.
