liability coverage

Pays others' damages

Liability coverage is insurance that pays for damage or injury you cause to others.

It covers legal costs and settlements when you're found responsible for harm—whether from a car accident, a slip on your property, or professional negligence.

Most auto and homeowner policies include liability coverage, and many professions require it: The contractor carried two million in liability coverage.
