When Test driving a used vehicle and getting in an accident, who is responsible for repairs?

I was test driving a used vehicle and ended up in a ditch and damaging the car. I am wondering if I will have to pay to get the car fixed or will the dealership's insurance just cover it?
I was test driving a 2004 Pontiac GTO and went around a corner and a deer jumped out. I swerved to miss a deer and ended up in a deep ditch. The passenger door and both side skirts were messed up, and most likely udercarrige damage. Also the tierod was broken on the front drivers side. Will I still have to pay for the damage or will the dealerships insuance just cover it?

    YOU will ultimately pay for this accident — either to the dealership or to their insurance compay. Start saving …

    If it is from a dealership, they do have insurance to cover this. That is not to say they still will not sue you for the damages

    The dealer will have a commercial insurance policy. However, if you are at fault, you may be sued for the damages, or, at the least, be asked to pay the deductible.

    Was the accident your fault? did you get a ticket, did anybody get a ticket? Not enough information, like nature of the accident, who all was involved,amount of damage year and make of said car, etc,etc, when you type in more info we all could give you better answers.

    YOU were driving….YOU are at fault. You and your insurance will be required to pay up.
