“treble damages” is actually legal language for triple damages. I only know because my wife is going through something that includes this.......fortunatly we are on “the good side” of it. :)
When you’re dumb, you gotta be tough.
Treble damages, in United States law, is a term that indicates that a statute permits a court to triple the amount of the actual/compensatory damages to be awarded to a prevailing plaintiff. Treble damages are a multiple of, and not an addition to, actual damages in some instances.

Fall and Triple?
......................................
Fall yes
Treble is a law term meaning triple. Treble damages is correct.
fall yes in a certain sense. Fell would be correct in this case, meaning to cut down.
Treble=Treble
