Absolutely. Until your child hits 18 you are held liable for he or she in every legal aspect imaginable. Not only are your responsible for the car she is driving, your also held liable for the person she might potentially hit, or by law also known as 3rd or 4th parties. My recommendation i to at least carry a 1 million dollar umbrella on top of your homeowners and car insurance. If not 2 or 3 million. Overall enough protection to back your savings, stocks, financial mechanism's you might have, your paid off house, your assets or what ever other stuff you may have or own. Because if don't carry enough insurance, people will go after your assets.

It does not matter who the tree belongs too because neither one is liable for the damage to your car. A property owner is not liable for an act of nature and homeowners insurance does not cover automobiles. Your comprehensive auto insurance will cover your vehicle for damage from an act of nature.
