I'm not sure what you are talking about. The only place where I can think that you may incur two deductibles is a situation where you back into your own vehicle. This could cause you to have two deductibles, one for each car. Often times, companies will waive one of the deductibles in this case. Damages cannot be paid under liability coverage because you can't be liable to yourself. In a situation where you back into someone else's vehicle, you liability would pay for their cars damages and your physical damage will pay for your damage to your car. If you hit another vehicle that you own, since you can't be liable to yourself, liability doesn't come into play at all, so damage on each car is paid under physical damage on each one as long as you have this coverage on both vehicles. In this case you normally would have to pay a deductible on each car but most companies waive the lowest deductible so that you only have one, and they also only charge the accident against one vehicle.

If the car owner went through his coverage first to get repairs done, then the car owner is responsible for the deductible.
