What is liability insurance and who uses it
Insurance is defined as, “a thing providing protection against a possible eventuality.” Liability insurance provides this protection for individuals and companies against the possible eventuality of having legal charges levied against them and held lawfully responsible for things such as malpractice, injury, negligence or mismanagement. Certainly, an intentional violation of agreements or contracts and deliberate damages caused by the insured party would not be shielded by the liability insurance.
