Your car, however, might sustain damage and so might the mailbox. As a result, you might have to file a claim against your car insurance to make the necessary repairs. You will still have to make sure that your policy covers the cost of the damage, however. Sometimes, limits on coverage might apply. <\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
