Liability coverage

If you cause an auto accident, you need protection for the damage you might do to another person and that person's property. That's what auto liability insurance is all about.

If you're in an accident in which you're at fault, your property damage liability pays for the covered damage you've caused to the other car and provides you with legal defense if the other party files a lawsuit against you. Your bodily injury liability covers the costs associated with the covered injuries you may have caused to other people in that accident and also provides for a legal defense if you're sued.

Key points when choosing liability insurance:

• Bodily injury liability covers injury to people, up to the policy limits.
• You should have enough property liability insurance to cover the amount of damage your car might do to another vehicle or an object such as a building or piece of equipment.
• With both types of liability, you want enough insurance to cover a lawsuit judgment, without jeopardizing your personal assets.

Most states require all motorists to maintain some form of liability insurance. Your Travelers representative can help you understand your state requirements and select the amount of liability coverage that's right for you.
