Yes, this would fall under a liability claim under your homeowners insurance. They are limited on how much they will pay out, depending on much liability you bought in the first place.

Generally, Mother Nature would be the responsible party. Unfortunately she does not carry a checkbook.

Fortunately, In the United States at least, no one is held liable for acts of nature. If a tree fell on your property whether from your yard, your neighbors yard, blown in from from some national forest down the street or some other yard due to a natural occurrence you are responsible for your own property. You may be covered under your own homeowners policy for the damages and debris removal depending on the circumstances and on your insurance coverage.

Your own homeowners insurance should have coverage for natural hazards such as this.

Likewise, If your neighbor sustained damage as well whether from his own felled tree or if your tree fell onto his property. His own insurance would cover the damage

Nobody is liable for an act of nature. Baring some proven negligence on the part of your neighbor, there is no liability.

Your own homeowners insurance should have coverage for natural hazards such as this.

You should run the claim through your insurance first. The neighbor or their insurance company can come after you for damages.

What if you park at neighbors driveway and there daughter hits your parked car and she does not live there then who pays for the damages?

She does if your claim is corroborated by a GOOD witness. (One on your side) It depends: If you were in your neighbors driveway without their permission you were trespassing and you assume responsibility for any damages. However, If you were there with the neighbors permission and the daughter is 18+ then she is responsible for damages.
