They wouldn't win. Not sure about the laws of other states, but tree damage is covered by your policy unless there was negligence. "act of god" or whatever they want to call it, but not my problem. That said, if the neighbor notified us that the tree was dying and had an arborist verify this, then we would be responsible.
Emerald Ash Borers are such a problem in NJ, that I can spot it easily, so the signs were there, it was just a matter of time. The tree guy verified it for us too. He told me in 18-24 months a good wind would have taken the top out. The guy was already paid, so it wasn't like he was spinning a yarn to get sales.
