Perhaps had you not been driving on the sidewalk, the tree wouldn't have hit you. But seriously, if the city failed to maintain the tree and a branch fell on your car and damaged it, you should be able to file a claim against the city or the owner of the property on which the tree stands. The laws regarding tree maintenance vary from city to city.

95 percent of the trunk of a tree is in your next door neighbor property line. If the tree falls and cause damages who is responsible?
Generally, you will be responsible for any damage to your property caused by this tree. Your neighbor would only be responsible for property damages if he knew that the tree was in imminent danger of falling and took no action. If the tree is hazardous, it is a good idea to work with your neighbor to have it removed. If the neighbor does not cooperate, you can write him a certified letter warning of the danger of the tree, which will make him responsible for property damage should the tree fall. If it is necessary to write a letter, you should see a real estate attorney in your area to make sure that the wording of the letter will make your neighbor responsible for the tree under your state's laws.
Are new york city sidewalks public or private property?
Sidewalks in any city are public property and up to the City to repair them. However, during winter it is usually up to the store owner to keep the sidewalk to the front of their store clean of ice and snow. In New York City, it is the obligation of the property owner abutting the sidewalk to install, maintain and repair the sidewalk. This is true for all property owners expect railroads and cemeteries. The first are excluded from this law by the Railroad Law, and the second by the Real Estate Law. The Department of Transportation will inspect a sidewalk anywhere within the five boroughs and issue a "Notice of Violation" [NOV] if there is a fault in the sidewalk. If the sidewalk is adjacent to a one- to three-family house, the City's Department of Transportation contractor wil repair the sidewalk and charge the property owner by adding the cost of the repairs to the property owner's tax bill. For more than four-family residences or commercial properties, while the department of Transportation will issue the NOV, but repairs are the duty of the property owner. This information stems from the NYC Administrative Code, Section 7-210. If a sidewalk "flag" has been lifted by a tree, the Department of Parks and Recreation has a program that will repair that flag free of charge. Property owners with such a problem should call the city's information number: 3-1-1 and tell the operator that a tree has lifted the flag in question.
