If a tree falls on a home, is it typically covered by the homeowners insurance policy?

Answer: Yes, always
Explanation: If a tree hits your home or other insured structure, such as a detached garage, your standard homeowners insurance policy covers the damage to the structure, as well as any damage to the contents. This is true for trees felled by wind, lightning or hail.

Explanation: Coverage for a fallen tree depends on the circumstances surrounding why the tree fell and the type of damage that resulted.

Answer: In some cases
Explanation: A homeowners insurance policy typically protects your home and other structures, such as a fence or shed, against specific causes of loss, known as perils. Covered perils typically include damage caused by wind. So, the situation that caused the tree to fall is important. If the tree was otherwise healthy and toppled due to wind, a typical homeowners insurance policy may help pay to repair damage to your home or other structure on your property. However, homeowners insurance usually won't cover a loss caused by negligence or a maintenance-related issue. So if the tree was rotting and ready to fall down before the storm, homeowners insurance likely would not cover the damage the tree caused to your home.

Answer: In most cases
Explanation: Depends on your policy and it is only up to a certain amount.

Answer: In most cases
Explanation: In most cases, however, if the home owner doesn't have insurance, this won't be covered.

Answer: No, never
Explanation: 24 hours

Answer: In most cases
Explanation: There a few questions that would determine who's insurance policy would pay for the damage. What caused the tree to fall? (storm, cut down, decayed, did a car run into it?) Who's tree is it? Did you do it on purpose (you laugh, but weirder things have happened) -- If you have claims questions on a home policy its best to call your agent. Calling the claims office may count hypothetical questions against your policy. Give me a call and we can talk about it!

Answer: In most cases
Explanation: Unless the tree was dead or neglected and no due diligence was involved.

Answer: In most cases
Explanation: "If a tree falls on a home, is it typically covered by the homeowners insurance policy?" In the question, if "it" means "the loss", then: If 1) the proximate cause of the loss is a covered peril and 2) there is an existing policy in-force and 3) there is damage to covered property and/or injuries to covered persons and 4) there is no fraud or negligence or any other circumstance which would cause the claim to be invalid and 5) the loss exceeds the deductible and 6) the insured abided by all policy requirements then such loss is typically covered.

Answer: In most cases
Explanation: Typically yes, most insurance companies would cover a loss due to a tree falling on a home.

Answer: In most cases
Explanation: If a tree falls on your home, your current insurance policy will react, but if your tree falls on a neighbor's home by an act of God, then you are not at fault if no neglect is found on your part.

Answer: In most cases
Explanation: It depends on which yard the tree is in as to who's policy would cover the damage.

Answer: In most cases
Explanation: Each claim is unique and adjustors are trained on the specifics. I have yet to find a case where it is not covered. I can tell you that if the tree is diseased and should have been removed it would fall on the homeowners of the tree owner. If it is a health tree then it falls on the homeowners of the house damaged by that tree.

Answer: In most cases
Explanation: It could be your neighbors tree. What was the damage? What is your deductible? If you file a claim how will this hurt your claims history? You should talk this over with your agent first before filing.

Answer: In most cases
Explanation: A tree fall on the home will be covered if caused by the perils listed on the policy, if not listed the claim could be denied

Answer: Yes, always
Explanation: If the tree causes damage to the home, the damage is covered subject to the policy deductible. If the tree falls cleanly on the ground, removal costs vary from one company to the next.

Answer: In most cases
Explanation: Accidents, such as a tree falling, are covered under your homeowner's insurance. However, the claims adjuster will determine cause of the falling tree, whether it was from softening of the foundation due to weather, or being cut down,or from a neighbor's yard, or being hit by a truck, etc. The determination will be from who's policy will cover the damage and what measures will be taken to prevent it from happening in the future.

Answer: In some cases
Explanation: The tree has to hit and or damage the home or detached structures to be covered by homeowners insurance.

Answer: In most cases
Explanation: It depends on whose property the tree was on and the cause of the tree falling.

Answer: In most cases
Explanation: In most cases the damage to your home will be covered, as long as the cause of the fall is one of the named perils in the policy (wind, fire, explosion, etc.). In some cases the claim may be denied if the home owner neglected to care for the tree in a proper way (rot, disease, etc.).
