what do you do if a tree falls on your car?

So i got out to my car (parked on a public street) to move it today and i found a tree branch (planted on the sidewalk) sitting next to it. looks like it fell from a tree that i was parked next to. will the city pay for damages?

take pics and call your insurance, this will fall under your comprehensive coverage, meaning in most cases you pay no deductible and your rates dont go up (unlike collision) it doesnt hurt at all to call them and ask them bluntly if this would be covered and if it would raise your rate. They have to tell you. If the city is at fault its still best to go to your insurance first, they will probably advise you on that as well.

Because they saw the Geico commercial. My answer to that is "God told me to change insurance companies then"
