Will your insurance cover an accident from before you owned your car?

Answer

No, it's highly unlikely your insurance company would cover damages to your vehicle that occurred prior to your policy's inception (actually, I know of no insurance company that would cover prior damage, for the simple fact that you didn't pay a premium for that damage). Think of it as "you get what you pay for." Your insurance carrier would be under no obligation to pay for damages for which it didn't collect a premium.
