insurance will cover it only if you have comp and collision, if you have liability only, you're on your own.

same exact thing happened to me 2 years ago - just FYI - it was 100% covered under my comprehensive insurance policy - windshield, hood, quarter panel, side view mirror, new paint job all covered
