should the person be taken to court if the house he/she got built that proved nearly fatal to you?

You don't really give enough information. How was the house nearly fatal? Was it the person's fault it was nearly fatal, or was it simply a freak accident? Would a reasonable person expect the person's actions to harm you?

You should file an action in housing court (or its SF equivalent).

Generally, yes, you are liable for any injuries occurring on your property (often even when you put up no trespassing signs and the injury was the direct result of the actions of the injured).\n\nWhether you have to maintain it depends on your local ordinances.  Check with City Hall.

They would lose, since California Civil Code 847 states that a property owner "shall not be liable to any person for any injury or death that occurs upon that property during the course of or after the commission of any of the felonies set forth in subdivision (b) by the injured or deceased person." Those felonies includes burglary and robbery.

If they have a Home Owners Insurance policy yes.....  If not you could sue them but this would cost more than a weeks work, and not be worth it.... imho

I do not. But if I wanted to handle something like that on my own, the 1st thing I would do, is to call the court involved and ask them how I should proceed.\n\nOtherwise I would just call an attorney and have him/her take care of it.

How much were your belonging worth? Do you have any proof, e.g., receipts, etc.? Not any attorney, but doubt you could sue for more than actual damages and court costs. Have you contacted the owner or insurance company.

If they have a warrant or you do not actually own the home or have a lease with your name on it, and the person who does own it or have a lease lets them. Anything they find could be used against you in court.

No.  If the injury was caused by him punching an object.  However if a box fell on him or whatever... possible.\n\nI would hope that a friend wouldn't do that to you.  But he would have to prove to the court that the injury was due to your negligence.

Yes, talk to a lawyer.

Well that depends.  Assuming you are in NYC (I am citing here because there are tons of case laws, the rules are reasonably refined), generally the city is NOT liable unless someone notifies the city a dangerous condition in writing prior to the injury. And perhaps this is the case everywhere in the US cities.\n\nAn exception to this notice requirement has been litigated based on a theory that the danger was apparent to the city that the city did not need the notice to realize such existence of dangerous condition.   HOWEVER, the recent case ruled that only such an exception applies to the case where the city itself made such a dangerous condition, i.e., city constructions ...

if the tree was in his/her yard/property.\n\nYour neighbor is fully responsible for the damage. If he/she won't pay then seek an attorney.

you were injured on their property.\nthey built a structure that encroached on you property.\nyou don't like them and want to file a nuisance lawsuit.

I don't understand what you said about the damage. You say that it almost caused a fatal accident, but did cause slight windshield damage. That doesn't sound like a truthful statement. \n\nMost plow operations have rules that exempt them from certain rules of the road and some liability. That would be something a lawyer would have to decide, which could get expensive.\n\nIf all you have in damage is $500, it probably wouldn't be worth it to hire a lawyer and sue. You would wind up spending more money on him that the damage. This is not a cost effective thing to fight, right or wrong. Let you insurance take care of it.

I would talk to a lawyer to discuss your options. There might be a chance the landlord is found guilty of negligence.

I doubt the lien would be enforceable since he had no ownership interest in the house when judgement was entered, but I recommend consulting a lawyer, things things vary from state to state.
