That depends on whether the tree trimmers had their own liability insurance. If not then you would be held responsible because you hired them and set the situation in motion. That is definitely a question you want to ask anyone you plan to hire to work for you before they begin the work. Then you should get it in writing.

Before you hire the tree trimmer you must check to make certain they have their own liability insurance that covers damage and injury to the work crew. You should ask to have a copy of the policy and attach it to the written estimate. You should also call your homeowner's insurance company for advice on keeping yourself free from liability.

You can say that a child belongs to its parents but in what way do parents own their child?

I can think of one way: Ownership equals responsibility. If you own a dog that bites your neighbor, you are responsible for their medical bills. If you own a car and someone drives it and wrecks it, you are responsible for damages. Similarly, if your child breaks the law or damages property, you are responsible for making sure the damage gets paid for and making sure your child makes it to court or community service requirements. Because the child belongs to you, you are responsible for his/her actions.
