Full coverage 500 deductible anything more is covered, however it's gonna be hell trying to get the city to pay for that 500. Geico said either let them call the city but its not a for sure thing and can't give me an exact date. Or I could contact the city on my day off and do some investigating on my own on who to talk to.

Why not let GEICO handle the whole thing? If the city is liable, GEICO will be dealing with them to recover whatever they pay you. They might keep a part of the deductable, but they'll do all the work.
Is the city liable? In most places a tree owner isn't liable if a tree limb falls in a neighbor's yard. Don't know if that applies to whole trees or just overhanging limbs, or if cities live under the same rules as property owners.

I'm sorry bro. That really sucks.Yeah, I would hope your agent will take care of you. Be sure to stay on top of it.
Squeaky Wheel gets the grease.
Look at the bright side, maybe you can get a bitchin new flake paint job for $500.

The city owns it. I'm waiting till Monday to see what the city can do.... I wrote an email to them, but i have a feeling they won't be so compliant. My luck. As weird as it sounds I searched on the Internet and this problem is more common then I thought...wish I could get more legal advice on how to walk away from this without any grief.

I do not see how the city would put of a fight to cover the repairs. It is clearly their fault.
Any chance they provided you notice to not park your car their because they were cutting a tree down?
Also how were the city workers? Did they apologize? Or were they indifferent to the damage they caused?
