  • Products liability for injuries caused by defective products

Auto Liability:

  • Damage to property owned by the insured
  • Damage to property of others
  • Bodily injury to the insured and others

Other Insurance Policies:

Specific Policy Provisions:

Within each coverage area, policy provisions outline the specific risks covered and the exclusions. For example, a general liability policy may exclude coverage for injuries caused by intentional acts or nuclear accidents.

Policy Limits:

The coverage area also includes policy limits, which determine the maximum amount of compensation that the insurer will pay for each claim. For example, a homeowner’s policy may have a limit of $50,000 for damage to the home.

Exclusions:

The coverage area excludes certain risks or hazards that are not covered by the policy. For example, a homeowner’s policy may exclude coverage for damage caused by earthquakes or flood.

Additional Coverages:

Some insurance policies offer optional coverage for additional risks, such as personal injury protection or accident damage waiver.

Examples:

  • A homeowner’s policy covers damages to the home and belongings, but does not cover damage caused by windstorms.
  • An auto liability policy covers damages to property and injuries caused by car accidents, but does not cover damage caused by racing.
  • A general liability policy covers injuries caused by the insured’s negligence, but does not cover injuries caused by intentional acts.
