No. Liability coverage takes care of any costs or damage you may do to other people and property during the course of driving, including both bodily injury to others and property damage. Collision insurance covers damage to your car when your car hits or is hit by another object, while comprehensive insurance covers losses resulting from incidents other than collision - floods, damage caused by external forces, and so on.

If you dodge a deer and wreck your car does your insurance cover you?
If you hit the deer, it would fall under your COMPREHENSIVE auto coverage (if you have it). You need deer hair on the car, at the point of impact, for it to be covered under comp. Roughly 25% of all US drivers lack this coverage and the understanding of ALL of the things that it can cover. If you avoid the deer, and crash, then it would fall under your COLLISION auto coverage (if you have it), and would count as an at fault accident, and your rate/premium could increase. However, do not listen to those who tell you Not to avoid hitting that deer. Since deer have long legs, they generally "fly" over the hood through the windshield. This can result in serious bodily injury. Sometimes the driver is even paralyzed for life.
Will American family liability insurance cover you if you hit a deer?
The liability will cover for most property damage that may happen. I don't think that the deers family will sue you so that may not apply in this case. If you have coverage for the vehicle such as comprehensive and collision coverage, then it should cover your vehicle for the damage that was done, minus the deductible.
Does collision insurance cover hitting a dead deer in the road?
We hit a dead deer once and then at another time a deer ran into the side of our van. Our insurance covered the damage but our deductable still applied. However, it was not a 'charged' accident and it did not affect our rates...Different company than this one but it appeared as this was the industry policy.... Hope this helps....... It would be unusual for someone to have collision coverage without comprehensive coverage and one or the other would apply depending on the exact wording of the policy.
