Yes. If someone hits your vehicle and the insurance company pays for the damages, they will go after the person who was at fault for the damages paid and after they collect all the money paid out they will reimburse you for the deductible that you paid when the vehicle was repaired. The damages were paid under your uninsured motorists coverage which has at least a $250 deductible for property damage so when all the damages are recovered from the person, that will include the deductible and you will get a check back for that amount.
Absolutely. Not only are you legally liable for the amount of the damages but by paying the deductible you basically admitted your liability. When you agree to pay and you will agree to pay make sure you let them know that you paid the person for their deductible so you can get credit for that amount as long as the other party does not deny that you paid them.
This depends on many factors, including the ability of the other person to pay for your damages. Some insurance policies will not require you to pay a deductible. Others will. If the other person can pay for the damages, you and your insurance will not have to pay.
THE POLICY HOLDER, WHO IS USUALLY THE OWNER OF THE TRUCK IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEDUCTIBLE. If the truck driver is fully responsble for the accident, his insurance should pay for the damages to the car and there would be no deductible. If the car owner went through his coverage first to get repairs done, then the car owner is responsible for the deductible. Then the car owners insurance would go through subrugation to the truck drivers insurance to get full payment of the loss. When that is completed, the car owner would get his deductible returned to him.

Your collision coverage will take care of this. Comprehensive is for things such as theft, acts of god (such as a tree falling on your car), etc. Collision is for well crashes. You incurred a vehicle malfunction which caused you to have an accident, or collision.
All the damages will have to be paid by the other party's insurance company. Your deductible isn't applicable.
If the tree was on your property then you are. If it was on theirs , then they are.
Yes. The deductible is applicable regardless of fault, location, or anything for that matter. You agreed to pay a portion of the damages when you signed your policy contract. The deductible is your portion. It's sort of like a co-pay.
Hopefully you have full coverage auto insurance with comprehensive. The tree owner is not liable for damage to cars from falling trees unless you could somehow prove that he was knowingly or negligently responsible for the tree falling on your car.
