Today, the tree that my neighbors have neglected to cut down fell on my car. They claim that by law, they aren't responsible and don't have to pay for it. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my neighbors threatened to sue me because a six-foot branch fell off one of my trees and into their yard, hitting nothing on the way down. FML
Today, a tree fell on our 3-month-old family car. Today, I also learned that my husband never insured it. It's probably scrap, and we still have to pay it off for the next 5 years. FML
Today, I watched one of my neighbor's trees fall into the electrical lines outside my house. This was after he took a chainsaw to the tree. He refuses to cover the damages. FML
Today, I decided to clear up some storm damage. I carefully cut a tree that was threatening to fall on my house. It fell on my neighbor's house instead. He's taking me to court for damages. FML
Today, the elderly couple next door asked me to cut down a tree in their yard. It turns out they told me to cut down the wrong tree, and I cut down the tree they got married under. They now hate me and tell me they plan to sue me for damage to property. FML
Today, I totaled my car, because I mistook the leaves blowing across the road for a child. I swerved and hit a tree. The home owner wants to sue for "harming his tree" and hospital wants to test my mental stability. FML
Today, I got home to find my truck smashed by a fallen old tree. I was going to have the tree removed next week. FML
Today, I woke up and found that the tree in my front yard was gone. FML

Today, a storm dropped a tree across my road. I would have moved it with my tractor, but there was a tree on that too. FML

It's their tree- they are obliged by law to pay when their property damages someone else's property. I believe the law is the same there. Take photographs of the damages, as well as a damage estimate, and serve the with court papers. :)

don't listen to your neighbors you can sue them for stuff like that, if the tree was on their property it's their responsibility

Yes they do. That's what insurance is for.

Actually it is their tree and by law they DO have to pay for it. Get a lawyer.

I don't think they actually have to pay. It's under law by "an act of god." You can take them to court and all that, but you'll lose. Hope you have good car/renters insurance.

You should switch your insurance to All State, and help save yourself from mayhem like your negligent neighbors. :)
