Re: Falling tree
You should contact your insurance company. Have the insurance repair the damage and subrogate against your neighbor.

Re: Falling tree
If you hadn't complained about the tree to your neighbors in the past (that is was dangerous), your neighbors may not be responsible for any repairs. Basically, you're responsible for what fell on your property and they're responsible for what fell on their property. You may have to make the claim through your own homeowner's policy. So, please don't assume that you will be able collect from your neighbors.
Good luck with the repairs.
