Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Florida

Hello, it is possible that you could be liable for the tree and its damage but with the facts provided here, or lack thereof, it would be hard to give you any real opinion. Your neighbor should likely submit the claim to his or her insurance barring any negligence on your side (i.e. old diseased tree, etc.). The problem is that many homeowners have high deductible insurance and so the neighbor, understandably, is likely upset at this result. Try to work it out amongst yourselves as litigation will only give you more headaches. If negotiations fall through get yourself a local lawyer.
