I don't think that's an act of God at all. I mean was it windy at all, or did the tree just up and fall over? If there was a storm then it may get tricky, but if it was just a normal day, then I'd talk to a lawyer.

Of course you have to weigh the pros and cons here. Is the expense of a lawyer going to be more costly than the deductible he'd pay if he files with his own car insurance company (plus any rate increases).
He can't file since it's liability and I don't think that would cover a tree falling on his car.
