What Does Liability Insurance Cover 

How Does Liability Insurance Work?

If you are in a collision in a no-fault state, your insurance company will work with the other driver’s insurance company to determine who is at fault. If you are found at fault, and you have liability insurance coverage, your insurance will cover costs for the other driver’s damaged car, minus your deductible, and up to your covered limit. Liability insurance has its own set limits based on how much you pay for your coverage (though the state dictates the minimum limit). What does liability coverage pay for? It provides insurance for the other driver, which includes:

Bodily Injury:

• Medical and hospital bills
• Long-term nursing care if needed
• Funeral expenses in the event of a fatal accident
• Rehab
• Pain and suffering
• Lost earnings

Property Damage

• Repair expenses
• Replacement parts
• Vehicle damage
• General property damage (house, personal property, etc.)
• Pets

Liability Coverage Limits

You should review your coverage limit options with your Overland Park area insurance agent to determine what’s best for you. The limits can be either split or consolidated into a single limit, the difference being:

• With a split limit you can select individual maximums for bodily injury payments per person, bodily injury payments for everyone injured, and for all property damage.
• With a single limit there is no total limit per person, so that the single limit is spread across all bodily injuries and property damages.
