What to do if my daughter’s boyfriend borrowed a friend’s car with her permission, and hit a deer totaling the car?
She only had PL-PD on the car. Is he obligated to pay her anything?

Your daughter's boyfriend is liable for the damage to the friend's car. The friend could sue him for negligence. Her damages ( the amount of monetary compensation she is seeking in a lawsuit for negligence) would be the value of the car since the car was a total loss.
