It will depend o the fact whether the tree was leaning since a long time and this was predictable and still you did not take any reasonable measure or this could not be predicted and the branches fell off somehow, due to the wind or something. in the latter case you are safe under s. 80, otherwise you might be liable to pay something if not the whole damage. If that person has insurance then also you are safe.
