What is Personal Liability Insurance? • Personal liability insurance is an insurance designed to protect you and your family members against claims resulting from damages or injuries to other people or their property. • It is a component of a homeowners insurance or an umbrella insurance policy, but can be bought separately as well. • It covers your expenses when you are responsible for the damages or injuries whether you are at your home or anywhere else.
Some scenarios when personal liability insurance will prover coverage: • Someone is injured on your property, and it’s your fault. • You accidentally cause damage to someone else’s stuff, or place. • Someone (or pet) listed on your policy causes damage to someone else
Does Personal Liability Insurance Cover Legal Expense? • Yes, it does. Some examples when it covers expense if you are found liable for an accident are: • Medical expenses of the claimant • Property damage expenses of the claimant • Pain and suffering expenses of the claimant • Lost wages of the claimant • Life insurance death benefits for the claimant’s family • Legal defense costs
What does liability insurance not cover? No coverage will be available in the following cases of bodily injury or property damage: • Bodily Injury • You, or someone listed on your policy, is injured. • Someone is injured on your property when you were not at fault.
Property Damage • You cause damage to someone’s place or stuff intentionally. • Your car damages someone’s place or stuff (auto insurance covers this, if you have one) • You conduct business operation from your home, and someone gets injured or something is damaged in the course. • A property that is rented to you is damaged.
How Much Personal Liability Coverage Should You Have? • The more financial assets you have, the more liability coverage you should purchase. • Example: Let’s assume your net worth is $600,000. Someone sues you for $400,000 worth of damage. Unfortunately, you only have $100,000 worth of coverage. Now, the plaintiff can claim the remaining $300,000 worth of damage by leveraging your assets to make up it.
