What do I do if I damage someone's property while driving?
"I crashed through someone's fence because I hit the gas instead of the brake. Will my insurance cover it?
I have $25,000 in property damage on my policy."

“Your
property damage liability
is designed to provide coverage for you if you damage someone else’s property. This includes an object or another vehicle.Since you have $25,000 in coverage, your insurance should cover up to that amount. Once that is exhausted, you will be responsible for any remaining costs.
To cover your vehicle, you’ll need
collision insurance
on your policy. This covers any damage done to your vehicle in a collision with another vehicle or object. If you don’t have this on your policy, you’ll be responsible for any damage done to your vehicle.If you haven’t already, you’ll want to reach out to your car insurance carrier to file a claim. They’ll be able to tell you what’s covered on your policy and what to do next.”
