Tree removal services are often busy this time of year, especially across such heavily wooded states like New York. Removing overgrown trees can become a necessity for property owners as they try to make more space, or perhaps remove dead trees brought down during summer storms.

But tree removal can be very dangerous work.

One New York state couple got a little more than they bargained for though when a crane belonging to tree removal company tipped over on their home. Now, the couple are being told they can't even stay in their own house for safety concerns.
