Depends where you live. Here in Texas the law is very clear that anything
you hit is your own fault, not the fault of the guy who dropped it ahead of
you. So, if you live here, it will be a claim against your own insurance.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

It's not that way where I live. In some cases, I was surprised at the
rules. If you hit an animal here, it's always covered by comprehensive, for
example. I can see why it should not be your fault if a deer jumps out of
nowhere, or if you hit a boulder that rolled off a hill right in front of
you, but I had assumed it would depend a lot more on the circumstances.
Also, glass damage is always out of comprehensive here, no matter what
caused the damage. (There may be some fine print saying that if you break it
on purpose, they won't pay, but it's almost always true.)

Such laws often depend little on what's right or wrong but on which party
controls the legislature. If something is unavoidable, it cannot reasonably
be your fault. But if big business comes ahead of consumer rights, then
that's the price you pay.

I suppose that one could argue that if you are keeping a safe following
distance, then if you slam on your brakes when you see something flying, you
will not hit it. The insurance of the person who hits you will pay for
damage to your car when you get rear ended, and your basic medical bills
will be paid for, but nobody will pay for your life of pain.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

this link which you might find of use:

I just replaced my fuel pump and soldered a new wire on my fuel pump control
unit saving about 500 dollars in parts and about 500 dollars in labor at the
local rates here (@100 dollars an hour).

Those Infiniti Q45 fuel pump repair instructions on that web site just saved
me a thousand bucks!

Now I'm going to replace my plenum, spark plugs, and chain guides next (all of
which are 10 hour jobs each).<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

How in the world could a fuel pump replacement be 5 hours in time cost???
