Re: fallen tree
Unless you knew the tree was likely to fall, for example, it was dead, leaning or otherwise damaged, this is an act of God, and you are not responsible. Your neighbor's insurance should cover their damage.
If you knew the tree was likely to fall, and did nothing about it, you are responsible.
