More than likely, yes. The car was the responsibility of the person driving it at the time of damage, regardless of the circumstances.
You are NOT liable for any part of the damage (including deductible) as long as you are driving with your friend's permission.
No, you are not responsible for the damage.

Does homeowner insurance cover damage to pool liner?
Damage to your pool would be covered under Coverage B (other structures) of your policy. But, whether your liner would be covered depends on what caused the damage. If the damage is from normal wear and tear, then no, the damage would not be covered. Review your policy and determine what caused the damage to see if there is coverage. Also, remember the insurance company will only pay for the damage which exceeds your deductible. If you have a high deductible it may not make sense to report a claim.

What is the auto dudctable insurance?
In terms of auto insurance, the deductible is the amount the policyholder is committing to pay if their vehicle is damaged or stolen before the insurance company is responsible for paying out a claim. A deductible applies to both comprehensive and collision physical damage coverage. Comprehensive will pay for damage or loss to your vehicle resulting from fire, theft, vandalism, hail damage, and wind. Collision pays for damage caused by an accident. You will be required to choose a deductible for each coverage ranging from $0 to $2000. While higher deductibles offer lower auto insurance rates, you will be responsible for paying this amount before the insurance company will cut a claims check. Choose a deductible that is practical for your situation.
What is the difference between deductible and premium?
The premium is what you pay for the policy. The deductible is what the insurance company will not pay for what is covered. For example you buy a car policy for collision. You pay the premium of $50. If you crash the car, the company will not pay any thing less than the deductible. If the deductible was $1000 and you sustained $1500 damage, the company would pay you $500. If the damage was less than the deductible, you get nothing.
