Although laws differ from state to state -- there are no-fault states, tort states, and hybrids -- this is the basic idea: Since we assume you are the at-fault driver, your liability insurance -- the property-damage portion -- will cover the cost of repairing the damage to his car. If there is a deductible, you will have to eat that. That's what deductibles are all about. But I'm not aware of deductibles associated with liability insurance. Usually deductibles are associated with collision insurance and comprehensive insurance. If you live in a no-fault state like New York, things may be slightly different. In New York, the other guy's insurance will pay to fix the damage to his car, less the deductible. But he won't have to eat that if you were the at-fault driver. YOUR insurance will pay his deductible.
