What is Personal Liability Insurance?

Many people never think about investing in Personal Liability Insurance, but these days everyone is expected to be legally responsible for their own actions and property, and it is not just millionaires, celebrities and big businesses who can be sued if any accidents do happen.

Personal Liability Insurance can provide you will a higher level of protection in additional to regular homeowners and auto insurance, which will cover you against major accidents and emergencies that could have significant legal and financial implications that well exceed standard cover. Personal Liability Insurance will protect you and your assets against any serious lawsuits, which could be brought to you for a number of reasons such as:
• Incidents including visitors or workmen who were injured on your property and premises
• Accidents involving yourself, your children or your family pets.
• Incidents involving damages caused to property or assets owned by other people
• Injury caused to others

When choosing a personal liability policy you should take into account all of your assets, and also ask your solicitor or lawyer to estimate the cost of legal fees that may apply to a lawsuit brought against you. This will help you to determine exactly how much cover you should apply for, and if you run a business you should also have a separate Business Liability Insurance policy.

If you are not sure what cover options you should look for in a Personal Liability Policy, then it can be easiest to opt for an ‘umbrella' policy, which will cover you for a range of things including:
• Defamation of Character
• False arrest
• Invasion of Privacy
• Malicious prosecution
• Defamation of Character
• Libel or slander
• Wrongful Entry
• Wrongful Eviction

The coverage limits on an umbrella policy will normally start from $1 million, going up to around $10 million for higher level cover.
