Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

Tree falls, damages neighbor's car

A tree in my front yard was blown over by the wind. Some of the upper branches landed on my neighbor's car and did some damage. The car was parked in the street. I knew the tree was old and reaching the end of it life. It had some dead branches, but also many green ones. Once it fell, the roots appeared rotted away, but this wasn't obvious beforehand. Am I liable for damage to my neighbor's car? Should my homeowner's insurance cover any liability I might have?
