Women Sue Neighbor After Tree Injury Incident

Three women, Danyelle and Brittany Bushee, and Melissa Chiasson, have filed a lawsuit against their neighbor, Peter Rocklin, after a tree from his property fell on them, causing severe injuries. The incident occurred in August when the women were standing outside Danyelle's home in Orange, Mass. Danyelle suffered a traumatic brain injury and other severe injuries, requiring 24/7 care, while Brittany and Chiasson also sustained significant injuries. The lawsuit alleges that Rocklin's negligence in failing to address the decaying tree, despite a similar incident months earlier, led to the accident. The victims' legal team argues that the situation was preventable if Rocklin had taken action to remove the rotting trees. The lawsuit seeks damages for medical expenses and ongoing care needs.
