Your insurance should pay, up to the limits of your policy, if you have liability coverage for property damage, so long as you did not hit the other car intentionally or while DWI/DUI (most policies have exclusions which allow the insurer to not pay for intentional wrongful acts or when DWI/DUI).

Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved.
