While a home policy does provide the policyholder with both Personal Liability and Medical Payments coverages to pay for injuries, these coverages can only be paid to a third party and will not cover injuries that are sustained by either you or residents of your household. If you are injured in your home, the only option to pay for medical bills is medical insurance.

Any kind of injuries you suffer within your own house would not be covered by your Home insurance; that would fall under your medical (or in this case, dental) coverage.
Content house insurance covers the items, or content, of the home itself. It does not cover the home as a structure and you will need separate insurance for that.
Sure, you can make a claim for the damage done to the car if you have physical damage coverage. As for the home, only your home insurance will pay for the damage to the house.

Actually, the home owner pays the home owner's insurance. The lender has an escrow account. This is in additional to the payment of interest and repayment of principal. The escrow account pays the taxes and insurance. The escrow account pays the taxes so the government does not seize the property. The homeowners insurance pays in case the house burns down. So, you pay into the escrow account, and if your house burns down, the lender gets the insurance money. You would not pay a mortgage on a burned down house and the bank knows that, so they have you pay into the escrow account and they pay for the insurance.
No. Unlike auto insurance, homeowners insurance is optional and is not mandatory if your house is paid for. Just keep in mind though, if your home is lost due to fire, tornado, etc., you will not collect any kind of recovery for the loss.

Homeowners Insurance covers losses or damages related to your home. Maybe your Friend is recommending the life insurance policy in case you die before you pay off the house. Your family could then use the life insurance proceeds to pay off the balance of the mortgage on the house in the event you die.
