Liability auto insurance is a type of car insurance that pays for damage and injuries you cause to others in an accident that is your fault. It covers things like fixing the other person’s car and their medical bills. Most states require this insurance to drive legally.

A financial safety net reffered as liability auto insurance kicks in if you cause an accident while operating a motor vehicle. Up to the policy limitations, it covers harm to third parties and destruction of their property. Basically, liability insurance covers the other party’s costs not yours if you are determined to be at fault in an accident.

I appreciate your explanation, Scofield. It seems obvious that having liability auto insurance is essential for protecting the interests of others in the event of one’s own fault accidents. Knowing that most states have legal requirements is a good thing.
