Ah but it does. They will refer him back to his insurance to pay for the customized parts.

It's happened many many times included to several people that I personally know. Now some got lucky, others didn't. Generally it falls in line with who the insurance provider is.. ABC Insurance Co is far less likely to cover anything they don't need to than Allstate is.

Hell Geico tried to only pay me 20% of damages for an accident where their insured was drunk and ran a red light. Their logic was that I hit his rear axle so he was "mostly through the intersection so had the right of way". They lost that fight but generally they will try to fight anything that increases their cost.
