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.

A friend of mine back home lost her husband the exact same way. She was in the passenger seat and was uninjured. She also became a very rich woman.
