Does car insurance cover damage caused by trailer detaching from vehicle?

Liability coverage extends from the vehicle that is pulling a trailer, boat, or camper. This means if you are backing up in a parking area and the camper hits another vehicle the liability coverage will cover the damage to the other vehicle. Even if you are going down the road and the trailer comes loose the liability is still attached to the trailer and damage it does to another persons property is covered by liability from the vehicle that it was attached to. The kicker is that damage to the trailer itself is not covered by the vehicle pulling it. You would have to have a policy on the trailer itself for physical damage coverage to cover damage to the trailer.
