The plaintiff parked her car at her boyfriend’s house, and one night during a rainstorm, a branch fell on her vehicle and damaged it. The tree is half on her boyfriend’s property and half on the defendant’s land, so she’s suing the defendant for half of the insurance deductible. The defendant thinks the plaintiff is trying to extort her because she didn’t say anything to her until five months later. The plaintiff rented a room in the defendant’s house. He says the defendant attacked him in the middle of the night, and the two men got into a physical altercation. He was handcuffed and the defendant changed the locks on him. He never got his property back, so he’s suing. The defendant argues the plaintiff was inappropriate with a female roommate. He says the plaintiff punched him in the face and had a knife with him, so he’s countersuing for hospital bills and pain and suffering.
