Full coverage is more Expensive that PLPD because with full coverage anything that happens to your car they will pay for yours and the other persons car but with PLPD they only pay for the other persons car.

Not sure what plpd coverage is..is it maybe personal liablity property damage? If so no, I don't think that would cover a window broken out. You would need comprehensive coverage for a vandal breaking out your window.
PLPD is also known as liability. If YOU hit someone else's car meaning that you are at fault, any repairs will come out of your own pocket because PLPD only covers damages for other vehicles. If you were not at fault it doesn't matter what coverage you have because their insurance carrier (if they have one) should pay for your vehicle damages.
No. If you had an accident with your husbands car and you were at fault with only PLPD insurance, the damages to your vehicle would not be covered.
ANYBODY needs the mandatory coverage - protects the drivers in the case of at fault
I am assuming that you are making up some abbreviation by using the plpd. The part of the policy that would pay for the damages to the car you hit if it was your fault would be Property Damage Liability Coverage.
i was charged 110 dollars for changing my full coveage to plpd
Not usually. That type of coverage is called "comprehensive", but even that doesn't cover everything. Depends on the type and extent of the damage.
Where I live PLPD (Public Liability and Public Damage) are the first type The second is known as comprehesive or colision
It would depend on why the car was totaled and who's fault the accident was and what time of insurance do you have PLPD or Full Coverage
PLPD stands for Public Liability and Property Damage. It satisfies your obligation to the state, and offers no coverage to your vehicle's damage. Usually when your car reaches 10 years old it is okay to switch to PLPD - by this time chances are that the collision premium will be close to what the "red book" or "blue book" value of the vehicle is. Some insurance companies do not offer collision coverage on vehicles that are 10 years or older and most require a mechanical inspection certificate (Please note this applies to auto insurance in Canada).
Unless you have an uninsured motorist coverage attached to your PLPD policy, you are otherwise screwed. Your only other option beyond this is to sue the driver if they got caught. Well we all know lawsuits can only be so effective but they can take time and money to complete. Even if you win you aren't guaranteed any money, if the other party ever pays at all. Moving on, PLPD only covers any at fault accidents YOU may have. When I had my first car I had PLPD BUT I had an uninsured motorist coverage on my policy. It turned out that was the right thing to do because I was involved in a hit and run myself, and since the other party was deemed as having no insurance, my car was paid for.
