What is liability insurance? Liability insurance covers the other party in an accident if you cause the accident or are _liable_. For example, the state minimum liability limits for Washington state are $25,000 Per Person, $50,000 Per Accident for Bodily Injury, & $10,000 for Property Damage. This means that if you cause an accident, your insurance company will pay $25,000 per person for their bodily injury and a maximum of $50,000 for the entire accident. They will also pay the other person up to $10,000 for the property damage you cause their vehicle.
