It is true that it will depend on the policy. I got the [truck parts](http://4wheelonline.com) covered by my insurance. However, if you have a liability coverage, you cannot use it to pay on a claim for your own property. It can only be used for paying damages and other costs related to accidents. It is always important to look at the fine print of your insurance policy.
