Question
I ran over my neighbors pet dog. The dog survived. The vet bill was over $500.00. I have Liability and Medical only. Will my insurance company help with vet bill?

Answer
Hi Lamon,
You need to make an immediate report to your insurance company.
Decisions regarding your liability can't be made until there is a report and investigation by your insurance company.
A lot depends on the circumstances and the leash laws of your city.

I hope this information is of help.
Your feedback by rating my answer will be appreciated.
