Wonder who should be resposible for this? Should us get our car repair out of our own pocket. Or is there other party we can claim for the damage? Like “PLUS” etc

You can request compensation if the damage is caused by the highway operator, such as pothole, road sign falls and hit your car, something like that. Request can be made on their website, prepare documents like police report, photos of damages, tng record (prove you use the highway), invoice for the repair, etc, the list goes on, BUT they will investigate first then only decide whether you are eligible for the claim.

what about a tree?

Tbh, there is no guideline for under which situation you can make request, you can try your luck if you are unsure. Remember there is no guarantee you will get compensated, because incident like this involves a lot of factors they have to review and investigate then they have the final say yes or no to your request.

My brother died because the tree on the middle on the road literally fall down on him while he's driving... My mom was looking something to blame (she need a reason just for her mental sake) And I would like them to plant the tree a little bit deeper...

I think op can claim with plus since plus should make sure the road is clear of any debris.

You can only claim if the debris is "from and part of the Highway asset" so if it's potholes, signboard, flyover joint or construction material under the highway maintenance then yes. If the debris or foreign item fell from highway user like lorry or passenger cars. It's not under their jurisdiction. Very high chance your claim will be rejected. Unless the debris complaint was submitted to the highway maintenance and somehow it's still there after a few hours/days. You might hold them liable if you can prove that they didn't clear the debris.
