Unless you are accused of negligence (you did not maintain your car, no oil in car, engine light ignored, etc.), you cannot be held liable for other damaged car. You will absorb your own car damages -repairs/replacement.

Liability coverage applies only when you are principally at fault....and it pays the other guy, not you.

I had close to the same situation my car caught fire and was parked near an apartment complex and burned the sidding of the building !! The fire to this day is unknown and claimed electrical !! I took a loss on the car but the good news is you are in no way responsible for your burned friends car if fire was not started by you!! I paid no damages to the building and my insurance company told me in no way was I reponsible and dont let them tell them you are!!! Hope this helps friend!!
