If your "full" coverage includes Collision coverage then the answer is yes, or if you don't but do have Uninsured Motorist Property Damage coverage then the answer is also yes. I think some states have the UMPD listed seperately on the policy even if you have Collision coverage.

What is a full coverage auto insurance?
Their is no such thing as full coverage in legal terms. What people refer to when they say that is Physical Damage Coverage for a vehicle. What physical damage coverage breaks down into 2 parts. Collision Coverage: Does include a deductible, covers the vehicle from damage resulting in a person being at-fault in an accident, and damage has occurred to the vehicle in which it has to be repaired or replaced. This does also protect the vehicle if an accident or damage results from a uninsured motorists or under insured motorists Comprehensive Coverage:(also known as other then collision) Does include a deductible, covers the vehicle from damages due to vehicle that are out of control of the insured. This would be from weather, vandalism, theft, hitting an animal, and etc. Remember, insurance company's insure vehicles of the actual cash amount at that time. If you have a collector car, you would to get collector car insurance, in which their is a stated amount.
Where do I get help to pay for my car accidents and insurance in hit and run?
Generally, you cannot, in the absence of collision or uninsured motorist coverage. If the hit and run driver is eventually identified you may be able to sue them personally. Both collision coverage and uninsured motorist coverage are "first-party" coverages, meaning that they cover your own vehicle. Collision coverage provides property damage for your own vehicle irrespective of fault for the collision. It is normally subject to a deductible, meaning there will be an amount that you will have to pay out of pocket. You will have to check your policy, or with your insurance agent, to see if you have the coverage, because it is generally not mandatory. That said, if the vehicle is financed, the entity through which you financed it may have required that you get collision coverage to protect the collateral. If you did not, the company that financed the car may have obtained "force-placed" coverage for you and charged your account the premium for it. Therefore, you should contact the finance company and determine if it did and if so, get the specifics on the coverage so that you can make a claim. Uninsured motorist coverage provides benefits to you if you were injured (usually there is a requirement of permanency, but state law controls) by the negligence of an uninsured driver. It does not provide any property damage benefits, so depending upon the damages that you sustained, it may be moot whether you have it or not. If your state requires you to maintain liability coverage on your car, it will generally also require that your insurer have offered you the chance to buy or to waive the purchase of uninsured motorist coverage.
What if your in an accident and the other driver didnt have insurance?
This is why you want to have uninsured motorists coverage on your policy. UM will act the same as if the other party had coverage with the exception of a small deductible for property damage. In some states your physical damage may also take care of the vehicle though then it will count against you on your policy. UM is a far better coverage to have in this situation.
When is it best to drop collision and comp auto ins?
When you own the car free and clear and know you will be able to repair or replace the car without insurance if there is a loss, or when you know you don't really need the car or the value of it if you no longer have it or the use of it due to a loss. Note also that you can drop Collision but still carry Comprehensive, and if you hit an animal, that would normally fall under Comprehensive rather than Collision. Since Collision is normally much more expensive than Comprehensive, this is worth considering if you're a safe driver and not likely to have an at fault collision. With this option it's even more important to carry Uninsured/Underinsured Motorists coverage.
Will your uninsured motorist coverage cover an accident from an at fault unlicensed uninsured driver?
Yes. The initial trigger for entitlement to uninsured motorist benefits is involvement and injury in a motor vehicle collision with an uninsured motorist. According to state law, there may be other requirements as well (such as the existence of a permanent injury or significant scarring), but lack of insurance by the adverse party is the first requirement. Note also that, again depending upon state law, if you as the injured party negligently caused or contributed to the collision, your recovery may be reduced accordingly.
If you are in a no fault state and sustained body damage to your car but do not have collision coverage who pays for your cars damage if its also hit and run?
Physical Damage from a 'Hit and Run' is usually covered under the "Uninsured/Underinsured Motorists Coverage". However, there is usually a deductible of $200.00 to $250.00 Review your insurance policy....limits will be stated under 'Insured Coverages'. In this case, the fact that you are in a 'No Fault' state is moot since you apparently did not know who hit your vehicle in the first place. Also, do not be lulled into a false sense of security by the term 'No Fault'...........that is RARELY the case and is an out-dated term.
