Atlantik Sha: TPL (Third Party Liability) Insurance

Despite our best efforts to be vigilant on the roads and take necessary precautions in bad weather, accidents still happen. Auto insurance is there to protect you and your loved ones from accidents. In addition to accident insurance, third party liability insurance (abbreviated TPL) is an important form of protection in automobile insurance.

Even if you do everything you can to avoid damage and injury, these can often lead to lawsuits and lawsuits. This article explains what compulsory automobile liability insurance is and what it covers. We will also consider how much money you will need to protect yourself from the financial burden of litigation.

What is third party liability insurance?

Third party liability insurance is a piece of insurance that protects you if you are sued (or threatened to be sued). This could be for bodily harm caused by you or damage to someone else's property. Also known as “legal liability insurance,” this section of auto insurance is set up to cover legal fees, amounts of money that must be paid to settle lawsuits, and other costs.

A TPL becomes effective when someone makes a claim against you or your insurance company. This type of car insurance guarantees that you do not have to pay for the damages caused by being convicted in a car accident.

What does third party liability insurance cover?

Third-party liability car insurance typically covers:

  • Medical costs for injuries (including pedestrians, cyclists and fatalities)
  • Repair costs to any vehicles you damage
  • Repairs or replacement for damage to other people’s property
  • Legal fees and lawsuits as a result of the accident

When would third party liability insurance be applicable?

Here are some scenarios where liability insurance will step in to cover the cost of the damage you cause.

TPL will cover these claims up to the policy limits if:

  • You damage your neighbor's car
  • Your car slides on a slippery road causing damage to company property (signs, buildings)
  • A family member of a pedestrian or cyclist is suing you for damage caused to their vehicle
  • You cause an accident with another vehicle, resulting in death, and the deceased motorist’s family sues you

If you are at-fault for an accident and cause injury or property damage to a third-party, your insurer will review the costs to compensate them and offer a settlement. Should they agree, the claim will be paid and closed. If not, the injured party may seek legal advice or file a lawsuit. You will have coverage for these costs up to your policy limit.
