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

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, 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

I think they do have to pay. call the police or ask your car insurance person.

I don't know how things work where you live, but in South Carolina, if part of a neighbor's tree is hanging over their property line onto yours, you have all rights to cut down the part hanging over on your property line. So if the part of the tree that fell onto your car was hanging onto your property, then it was your fault, and not theirs. Now, if the entire tree fell over onto your car, then it IS their fault.
