1 Million in Canada, 2 million in the states, More lawsuits in U.S and less restrictions on how much you can sue for.
Is this seems like an incomplete question. Homeowners policies typically have personal liability on them.
No, your Homeowners Insurance will not. Your Medical Insurance Will.

Your master policy broker or your personal insurance carrier can answer your question specifically. There is no standard.
That is a liability issue and generally policies are not cancelled for liability. You of course required your tenants to get renters insurance so their own personal liability insurance would pay.
It's called "personal liability" coverage, and virtually all homeowners policies have it.
Personal liability insurance is important standard homeowners and auto insurance policies do not cover claims against individuals that result from catastrophic situations or in legal decisions. Without this kind of insurance, every individual can encounter serious financial harm if they are ever found to be responsible for extreme injury or property loss. Most insurance agents have the ability to write policies for personal liability, so does he are interested in this type of coverage should ask the agent next as they review their policy. Before purchasing separate personal liability, the insured person should first make sure they have as much personal liability coverage through their automobile and homeowners insurance policies.
Commercial Insurance is for a business. (general liability, worker's comp, etc.) The term "non-commercial" insurance isn't generally used. There is commercial insurance and personal insurance (i.e. homeowners, personal auto)
Personal Liability coverage is included in homeowners insurance. Personal Liability includes coverage several different scenarios including negligence for injuries and damage, libel, and slander. If you are accused of slander and are facing a lawsuit, contact your insurance agent to file a claim on your personal liability coverage and your home insurance company will pay for legal defense costs, settlements, and judgments awarded.
A personal liability, or umbrella, policy pays liability limits above those you can get on your homeowners or other basic liability policy. If you are thinking of buying a personal liability policy, begin by finding out the maximum amount of personal liability your homeowners policy provides. Make sure you coordinate the liability limits so that the umbrella policy covers any liability claim in excess of the amount your basic policy will pay, up to the maximum limits of the policy.
The personal umbrella policy was developed in the 1960s to provide additional liability coverage beyond the limits of an individual's primary insurance policies, such as auto or homeowners insurance.
Can a homeowner get a third party liability insurance covering ONLY visitors who might have an accident while on the premises (not the house itself and its furnishings and belongings) Thank you Elie
