If you have evidence that the owner knew the tree was dead and/or in danger of falling, and was negligent in taking care of the matter, AND that was the reason it fell, you my have a case for actual damages. Obviously, you should report to your insurer as well (as required in the policy). No, you don't get pain and suffering caused to a house.
