Damage to my car, California

A large tree branch fell on top of my car and damaged the roof (bent roof). Police was present and there is a police report describing the incident and my car’s damage was noted in the report; according to the police there were two other large branches that needed to be cut immediately from the same tree for safety, so the tree was basically ill-maintained. The estimate for repair to my car is about $5,500 (the roof needs to be replaced; about half is labor & the other half is parts). my car is a Mercedes ML320 (SUV) and has about 130,000 miles and is worth about $9600. I am taking my case to a ’small claims court’ in San Francisco because despite several attempts to contact the company that owns the tree, no response. I am asking $6000 for damage. Do you think they will give me this money? Do you think they will maybe salvage the car (because cost of repair is over 50% of the present value?)…The court is this Monday, I appreciate your input.
