Maybe, maybe not. If the trees appear to be healthy and a tornado or powerful storm that blows one over, it is generally an Act of God and you probably take the hit. If the neighbor neglects a diseased tree and it falls in storm, he/she might be liable. It is horrible idea to not have insurance on your home, for many reasons.
