It appears that in Florida,
landowners (private or municipal) can be liable if they knew or should have known about a tree’s dangerous condition and failed to take reasonable steps to mitigate the risk. This applies to trees on private property or in public rights-of-way.

It was on Federal property (Coleman).
Huge live oak, roots look rotted, may have been weakend by hurricanes or road widening.
They are other trees in similar shape along that road (IMHO).
