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, 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

If you were so worried abot this tree that you were asking them to cut it down repeatedly. Then why did you park in such a way that your car could be crushed.

Maybe he doesn't have a very big driveway and it's the only place he can park his car? :/ What is OP supposed to do... Park on the road?

I'm currently in law school and in my torts class we recently learned about the duties of owners/occupiers to people off their land. Assuming that the tree was on their land they are likely liable to you. In the majority of states owners' of land have no duty to people off their land but the one exception is in the case of trees falling onto adjoining land and physically damaging people or property. It sounds to me like your car being crushed would fall under this one exception in tort law so if I were you I would consult and attorney about this. I'm not sure of your jurisdiction so I can't be one hundred percent certain that your courts observe this exception, but it is the majority approach in the United States. I hope this is helpful to you.

well actually, "by law", they do have to pay for it seeing as how it fell from there property onto your car. contact a judge.
