What Is Liability Insurance for Your Home?
Liability insurance is part of your home insurance policy. It covers damages caused by people on your policy. The liability portion of your coverage also includes the cost of a lawsuit if the incident results in a lawsuit. This is helpful if a judgment forces you to pay for medical bills, property damage, and other costs related to the covered peril.
Types of Coverage
There are two main types of coverage, bodily injury, and property damage.
Bodily injury is a kind of liability insurance. It pays expenses related to someone who is hurt on your property. This could include someone slipping on the icy sidewalk outside your home. Bodily injury liability and medical payments cover medical costs associated with a covered peril. Medical payments take care of necessary medical expenses for non-residents injured in or around your home.
This coverage typically includes the following:
- Medical and surgical expenses
- Ambulance
- Dental work
- X-rays
- Hospital costs
- Prosthetics
- Professional nursing
- Funeral services
Property damage is another part of your home insurance liability coverage. This covers damage to someone’s property. It would cover your expenses if your child threw a baseball through a window or damaged an expensive vase.
