Liability coverage on an insurance policy, mainly a homeowner’s, covers "the other guy." Personal liability never covers you. However, it is essential because it protects you financially if you are found legally responsible for property damage or bodily injury of someone else. This includes neighbors or visitors that you welcome onto your property. At Pizano Insurance in Wayzata, MN, we want you to be "in the know" regarding your homeowner coverages and the benefits you get with your policy.<\/p>\n

Understanding Liability Coverage<\/h2>\n

Homeowner liability applies when someone slips and falls on your slick driveway, falls down your stairs, gets bitten by your dog, or a fire on your property damages your neighbor’s property. You, as the policyholder and any household members are covered by the policy.<\/p>\n

Regarding policy limits, most homeowners’ policies generally start with $100,000 of liability coverage. However, you can increase those limits to an amount you are comfortable with.<\/p>\n

Liability coverage is crucial because it protects you and your assets if you are sued for injury to another person or damage to their property. Home insurance liability coverage will typically go toward medical bills for the other party and legal fees and court costs if you are sued for damages.<\/p>\n
