It is called "Third Party Insurance Cover" and in most countries it is a legal REQUIREMENT to have this cover on ALL cars being driven on public roiads.
It is normally sold to you as "Third Party, Fire and Theft" and covers for those 3 eventualities.
The insurance that covers injury to YOU and YOUR car if you are At Fault is called "Comprehensive Cover" - (this includes "Third Party, Fire and Theft" cover too).
