Felled TreesNobody is liable for an act of nature. Generally you will be responsible for the portion that fell on your property and your neighbor is responsible for the portion on his own property. If you have coverage on your property insurance for felled trees and debris removal you could report it to your insurer subject to your deductible.

Barring some provable negligence on the part of the property owner there would be no liability for a natural occurrence.

AnswerIts not your fault that your property happened to be next to their tree. It also depends on the cause of the fall. Was it natural, or did someone purposefully or accidentally knock it over? Almost everything counts.

Technically......the branches are his......he could keep them if he wanted to. Throwing them back to you is pretty ok too....if you don't mind getting them back. It makes you look kinda cheap if you don't take them back.....due to that they came from your litter and you should clean up ...your litter.

Each homeowner is responsible for removal of the portion of the tree that fell on their own property.

As felled trees are a natural and expected occurrence no one is liable for an act of nature.

Each homeowners property insurance will cover the cost of repairs for damages to your own property.

You could only hold your neighbor liable for your damages if you could prove that he or she was aware the tree was a hazard and was negligent in mitigating the threat.

Pretty much yes. If you decide to perform work at your neighbors then you could be liable for uncovered damages that results from your actions.

Who is liable when a neighbors tree falls?

It depends on what made the tree fall. If the tree is dead, then the owner of the tree is liable. If a tornado caused it to blow over it is considered a natural act and no one is liable.

If a neighbor's tree falls on my house who is responsible?

If the tree was not dead already and clearly so then your insurance would pay for the damage to your house. A storm that causes the tree to fall is considered an "act of God" and the neighbor is therefore not responsible for the incident.
