This is the horse owners responsibility. I have had this happen with a dog that I hit and dented my bumper. The dog owner was found liable and required to pay for repairs.

This is not right. If your husband has FULL COVERAGE on his truck, then his insurance should take care of it. This is similar to if he had hit a pole, or something where no other person's vehicle was involved. His premium is likely to go up after the claim, or the insurance company may decide to drop him all together after they pay out the claim though. Now, he may have some recourse with finding the owner of the horse and try to collect damages from that person. perhaps the person had insurance on the horse, but not likely. Horses are pets, if your husband had run over a dog, and popped a tire or smashed the fender a bit, would he be looking to recover from the little girl who's dog he just flattened ?

For a three or 4 horse w living quarters you will desire a dually that takes a gooseneck at a minimum. I went with a Cummins diesel engine surrounded via a dodge. (certainly I even have 2) i like the diesel and have over a a million/2 million miles on the ninety one and extremely almost as plenty on the ninety two. The longer the wheel base the greater solid the rig so an entire length pkup with group cab can no longer get you fishtailing like a short mattress could. attempt going to horse shows and rodeos and confer with people who're pulling huge rigs with assorted fords. evaluate a used truck considering the fact which you're becoming greater suggestions on its defects whilst in comparison with a sparkling truck.

If your husband has full coverage then his insurance has to repair the damage.
Now, if he doesn’t he need to find out how the horse got out, in most cases you can’t hold the owner liable for the damages caused. Now if you can prove the fence was down and the owner knew it and didn’t repair it you might have action, but it’s going to uphill battle. Some people think its funny to let horses, cows, etc loose or to pull down fence, or leave a gate open, and when that happens you can’t hold the owner of a animal responsible for the animal does.

if he tried to file a claim with both his insurance and the insurance of the owner of the horse, then it is time to call a lawyer. they will take it on contingency. if it is not a great deal of damage, the lawyer may only have to write a letter.
he will ask for damages to the vehicle, as well as lost wages while the truck is being repaired.
you did contact both insurance companies, right?

He needs to speak with an attorney as soon as possible. This is a direct liability issue resting with the owner of the horse and, depending on the police report and associated facts, may rest on negligence.
