PLPD is also known as liability. If YOU hit someone else's car meaning that you are At Fault, any repairs will come out of your own pocket because PLPD only covers damages for other vehicles. If you were not at fault it doesn't matter what coverage you have because their insurance carrier (if they have one) should pay for your vehicle damages.
Collision coverage pays to repair your vehicle after an accident. Comprehensive coverage pays to repair your vehicle for damage caused by something other than an accident, like fire, theft, and vandalism.
Barring any exclusions in the policy, the insurance 'stays with the car' so your insurance will pay for the damage to the innocent persons vehicle (under your liablity coverage). If you have collison coverage on your vehicle/policy it too will pay to repair your vehicle less the deductible. If there is no collision coverage on your vehicle and the driver has a policy with collision coverage the drivers collision coverage may step in and repair your vehicle, but ONLY if you don't have collision coverage.
Not necessarily. Full coverage does not describe who is covered, but what is covered. In fact, full coverage is not an industry standard term. Most people that use that term, mean that they are carrying comprehensive and collision coverage. Those are the coverages that repair your vehicle after an accident. Every insurer is different in terms of who must be listed on your policy to be covered. Please check with you agent to be certain how your policy works. Source: Insurance Agent 8 years.
If you have Comprehensive Coverage on your Auto Insurance policy, you will be covered. They will either repair the vehicle or compensate you for the loss of the vehicle if it is not repairable.
The property damage coverage is a part of the liability coverage and provides for the repair, replacement, or payment of the actual cash value of another party's vehicle if you hit the vehicle and the accident is your fault. There is a maximum amount available per accident listed in the declarations page of your insurance policy.
Windshield repair or replacement is typically included in "full coverage". Depending on the policy you may, or may not, have to pay a deductible.
The repair of damage caused to your car when you caused the accident
You are liable for the damages to the property that was struck which belongs to others. If you have coverage for the car you were driving, (Collision) the deductible would have to be paid. If there is no coverage on the vehicle, then it's up to the owner to repair and whatever arrangements were made prior to the accident.
You were in an accident with someone with a full coverage you paid his 500 dollars deductible and his company wants you to pay the repair charges How come?
Yes, but proof will be necessary - determining fault. Some insurers like to mess with your head and question the "fault" and deny coverage. Get it in writing - possibly by the at-fault driver or YOUR insurance company. Here in Canada, even if you only have PLPD, if the accident is not your fault you are covered for repair, minus the deductible.
No. Physical Damage coverage to your own vehicle would be covered in this instance if you purchased the coverage, but liability only would not repair the damages.
In automobile insurance, collision coverage provides for repairing a vehicle when it is damaged due to the fault of the insured. Liability insurance provides for cost of repair of the OTHER vehicle if you damaged it.
