Since it's on the neighbor's land, they're responsible to help pay for the damage to your property.
Not true.
"Act of God". The portion of the tree on your property that causes damage on your land will be a claim on your HO policy.
Only exception would be if you can prove you warned the neighbor about the tree being unstable prior to the incident.
This is not legal advice.

This is not legal advice:
If the tree was visibly unhealthy, they would be on the hook as well.

Impossible to prove after the fact...

Have you tried the old school way of handling the issue of simply talking through situation with your neighbor? Communication goes a long way in the world.

Did it do any damage to your single wide?
This is not a legal question. I'm asking for a friend.

My neighbor came over afterwards and told us she knew the tree was a threat. Hopefully we can work together because I want all this mess dragged out through her yard, not mine. No one died, so it's an inconvenience not a tragedy. It smashed right onto our son's play set and fell while the dog and I were outside right under it. It scared the shite out of me to run from a falling tree.

Well, looks like you might get your deductible back or have her insurance deal with it. So, silver lining there.

Why the frick do you care how much your neighbor or their insurance will have to pay?
There is no longer strict liability in Louisiana. Unless the tree is clearly dead and should have been removed there is no liability on the part of the neighbor. The tree may be diseased and rotted internally but green and flowering on the exterior which would absolve the owner of culpability.
The homeowner's insurance will pay to repair his damaged property and to move the tree off the the damaged property, but will not pay for removal of the tree from the premises itself. This will be subject to the homeowner deductible. If the insurer believes it has a case it will pursue recovery against the owner of the tree and will reimburse the deductible if recovery is successful.

I read these boards about 2 years before signing in, so I'm well aware of what happen to posters who complain about a bad day late at night.

Tell your friend that there aren't many trailers in Mandeville surrounded by beautiful oak trees.
People, check the OP. I didn't ask for your advice, just said it was a mess.

Think of all the dildos you could make out of all that wood.

You just mad because you lost all that shade. This is honestly a subtle brag thread. Op lives in a neighborhood with 100 year old live oaks. In no way am I hating. I was just going down bull run road today and saw 18 houses I could see myself at.
