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

Answer: Yes, always
Explanation: Homeowner's insurance is called Hazard Insurance because the home is protected against all hazards, except acts of war. Flood and Earthquake Insurance can be purchased separately, but if a tree falls or something drops out the sky, the damage to the home is covered.

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.

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.

If it is a health tree then it falls on the homeowners of the house damaged by that tree.

Answer: In some cases
Explanation: Depends on the policy and the circumstances of the tree falling and what is damaged by the tree

Answer: In most cases
Explanation: Insurance is designed to cover disasters which are accidental, not purposely. A tree can fall naturally or be cut, but as long as there is not an intent to cause destruction, it is a coverable claim. A basic homeowner's policy will cover all damages caused by wind, hail, fire, and falling objects; except by earthquake and flood. Those risks can be covered by a separate policy.
