No, only "comprehensive" coverage would pay for that. Liabiility AKA PLPD AKA property damage and liability ONLY covers other vehicles you may damage in a crash YOU have caused.

Does liability auto insurance cover your car if you hit a pole?

No. Liability insurance will only cover your liability for
property damage/injuries to others. In this case, it would cover
the damage to the pole you hit. Your liability coverage will never
cover damage to anything you own. You would need
collision/comprehensive coverage to cover damage to your car.
Asked in Insurance, Homeowner's Insurance
Should homeowners insurance cover damage to a neighbor's property?

Your home insurance property coverage portion of your policy
would not provide coverage for property of another. However, If you
are found liable for damage to your neighbors property your
liability coverage would invoke.
Most homeowners Insurance policies come as a package with some
level of Liability Insurance unless you purchased stand alone
property only coverage.

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.
Asked in Auto Insurance
What does liability coverage mean?

Liability coverage covers you if you are found liable or at
fault for damages. In the case of auto insurance, for example, this
coverage pays for damages you cause in an accident that is you
fault. This coverage will NOT cover your car damage, however. Just
the other drivers car, medical bills, & other property
damage.
Asked in Auto Insurance
What is the liability coverage for intentional damage?

Liability coverage is for damage caused where the driver is at
fault in the accident. It specificall excludes intentioal acts. If
you intentionally damage another vehicle or other property there
generally is not coverage. This is because liability insurance of
any type, not just auto coverage, is intended to cover only
accidental occurrences.
That said, there are circumstances where the linsurance may
cover what might be considered intentional acts, but this relates
mainly to self-defense.

Does Texas liability insurance cover if the two cars involved in the accident are register under the same persons name?

Here is the problem with that,
"It is not legally possible to be liable to ones self"
So no, liability only coverage will not cover damage to your own
property, That's what the comprehensive and collision coverage is
offered to you for when you purchase your auto insurance. Comp and
Collision provides coverage for your own property, Liability
provides coverage for property and injury of others.
If you bought liability only, there is no coverage for your own
property.
Answer:
It should, and if it doesn't, there should be other parts of the
policy that can pay out. Coverages such as uninsured motorists or
medical payments.

Does homeowners insurance cover a window cracked by a rock thrown by your neighbor's lawnmower?

There is a coverage on most homeowners policies that is called
"Pysical Damage to Property of Others". So, since you neighbor
caused physical damage to your property, this would be the logical
place to start. If this is not available, then the Liability
coverage [portion of his policy would cover the damage.

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.
Asked in Insurance, Commercial Insurance, Liability Insurance
Does liability insurance cover equipment rental?

Liability insurance does not cover the property value of the
rented equipment, but your liability insurance may cover damages
resulting from claims of the use of the equipment.
Example, you rent a forklift and accidently crash it into a
truck you are loading. The truck owner sues you. The liability
policy would probably cover the damage to the truck or any injuries
caused during the accident, but would for sure not cover the damage
to the forklift.
Here are several opinions from FAQ Farmers: * Commercial General
Liability insurance cannot cover equipment rental in the case where
the insured has rented equipment. The 'exclusion j' under the
coverage A states that "property owned, rented or occupied by the
insured" is an exclusion under "Bodily injury and Property Damage
Liability Coverage". Also, exclusion j also specifies that
"property loaned to the named insured" is also excluded. * You are
wrong...gl does cover the use of such equipment but does not cover
if stolen, etc.

Does renters insurance cover property damage done by your dog?

It depends on what type of coverage you are looking for. If your
dog chews up your own property, probably not. You need to be
proactive and either teach your dog not to chew up your stuff or
isolate it so it can't chew up your stuff. However, if your dog
chews up someone else's stuff, it probably will cover it. In
Wisconsin, there are two types of coverages available that might
provide coverage: damage to property of others, which applies
regardless of whether or not you are liable for the damage
(although in this case, you would be), and personal liability
coverage which only applies in instances where the damage is your
fault. Usually the damage to property of others coverage is limited
to about $500. The personal liability coverage is usually a minimum
of $100,000, but is often much higher.

To expand upon above answer, it depends on your insurance
coverage. As said, deliberate damage is not covered. LIABILITY
insurance covers damage you do to someone else or their property.
COLLISION insurance covers damage you may do to your own car (by
accident)
