You don’t own a home, so do you need renters personal liability insurance? The answer is yes! This insurance protects your assets if someone is injured on your property or if you or a member of your household accidentally injures someone or damages their property.
Only Rich People Need Personal Liability Insurance, Right?
Actually, personal liability insurance is not just for the rich. Accidents can happen to anyone. Consider these scenarios:
* Your mail is accidentally delivered to the wrong house. A kind neighbor brings over the mail but then slips and falls on your porch.
* Your child invites a friend over after school. They are jumping on the trampoline in the back yard and the friend breaks an ankle.
* You’re backing up out of a friend’s driveway but you mistakenly put the car in forward gear instead of reverse. You crash through their garage door.
In each one of these cases, you can be held liable for payment. You could even be sued and end up owing hundreds of thousands of dollars.
