What is the insurance company responsibility to help you when you have an accident and its not your fault and you only have liability?

A liability insurer has two primary duties to an insured who has been sued: (1) a duty to defend; and (2) a duty to indemnify. The duty to defend means that the insurer is obliged, at its own expense, to hire counsel to defend the insured provided that the allegations of the lawsuit come within the ambit of the coverage of the policy. That is, for example, the liability coverage of a homeowner's policy will not be triggered to defend you if you are sued for an automobile collision. If you have not yet been sued, but a claim has been asserted (such as by a demand letter from the aggrieved party), the liability insurer is obliged to investigate the facts of the claim. Most personal liability policies give the insurer the right to settle claims without the consent of the insured, so it may also make a payment to the claimant. The correlative obligation of the insured is to timely notify the insured of all claims made against him/her/it, forward suit papers, and cooperate with both the insurer and the attorney hired to defend the suit. The cooperation includes meeting with the attorney as needed, responding to requests, attending depositions, attending trial, and other activities. The second main obligation of a liability insurer is to indemnify the insured, meaning, to protect him/her/it from financial loss. This involves paying damages for which the insured may be found legally liable (within policy limits). Again, the insurer usually has the right to settle claims when it deems it in its and the insured's best interests to do so. Indeed, the insurer has a specific duty to settle claims within policy limits when it is possible to do so (that is, when the claimant will accept that amount of money in return for a release of the insured of further liability).

What does commercial general liability do for you?

In a nutshell, you transfer your risk from claims from liability that arises from your business premises and operations, as well as your products and advertising to an insurance company, who promises to pay on your behalf and/or to defend you in court against claims, up to the limits of insurance you purchase and subject to policy terms and conditions, such as exclusions and if any, deductibles. Commercial insurance policy forms vary from insurance company to company, and a number of endorsements that modify the form are usually available, so it's important to find a knowledgable agent who can help you assess your needs and the right insurance policy for you within your price range - never purchase insurance solely on price!


Am I liable when insurance limits are reached?

Assuming that you are referring to liability insurance, the general answer, subject to the law of the jurisdiction, is "Yes". This presumes the legal, provable damages exceed the policy limits, rather than a claim made at the "I want" stage of things. A factor that is important to remember is that a liability insurer has an obligation to resolve a claim on behalf of an insured within the policy limits if it is all possible to do so. This generally translates into a scenario where, if the claimed damages may reasonably be expected to exceed policy limits (for example, if the case goes to a jury), but the claimant is willing to accept policy limits in full settlement and release the insured from further liability, the insurer has an obligation to settle within limits. By so doing, it is protecting the insured from individual liability for an "excess" verdict, and is fulfilling its duty of "good faith". Many States have statutes (written laws) that provide a process by which an insurer may be held liable for an excess verdict. If it is shown that the insurer did not act in good faith by settling within policy limits when it had the opportunity to do so, the insurer may be held responsible for amounts in excess of its policy limits. Those amounts may include the full amount of the verdict, damages to the insured that proximately flowed from having the excess verdict/judgment entered (such as damage to credit), attorney's fees, and depending upon the jurisdiction, other categories of damages.
