LIABILITY INSURANCE
Liability insurance any type of
policy insurance that protects an individual or business from the
risk that they may be sued and held legally liable for something such as
malpractice, injury or negligence.
Liability insurance policies cover both legal costs and any legal
payouts for which the insured would be responsible if found legally liable.
Intentional damage and contractual liabilities
are typically not covered in these types of policies.
A product manufacturer may purchase
product liability insurance to cover them if a product is faulty and causes
damage to the purchasers or any other third party.
Liability
insurance is very important for those
who may be held legally liable for the injuries of others, especially medical
practitioners and business owners.
Business owners may purchase liability
insurance that covers them if an employee is injured during business
operations.
Vehicle liability insurance has two
components always included together: Bodily Injury coverage
and Property Damage coverage.
Vehicle liability insurance is the
basic insurance coverage that covers injuries or damage to other people or
property if you're at fault for an accident.
General Liability insurance is
coverage that protects you against financial liabilities resulting from
accidents such as spilling paint on someone's carpet or someone slipping on
your floor.
Bodily Injury (BI) will cover
hospital and medical bills, rehabilitation, long-term nursing care, funeral
expenses, lost earnings, pain and suffering, and other expenses, up to the
limits you select.
If you cause an accident that
damages another person's property, the Property Damage (PD) portion of your
Liability insurance will pay for the related expenses.
Property Damage (PD) will cover the expense to
repair or replace damaged items, including other vehicles, lamp posts, houses
or even a pet, up to the limits you select.
Liability insurance also will pay
for your legal defense costs if you are sued as a result of your involvement
with the accident.
Anyone who drives a vehicle needs Liability
insurance. In most situations, Liability insurance is required by law.
These limits determine the maximum
amount your insurance company will pay if you need to use the insurance
coverage. Limits are described either as split limits or as a combined single
limit.
For-hire truckers operating under
their own authority must have Liability insurance in order to obtain a filing. Liability insurance
requires you to select limits.
