Car Insurance Question  If property damage exceeds the maximum covered in the policy, am I personally liable for the excess cost?

Property damage liability covers the damage your vehicle causes to another person's property, such as their automobile. If you are found to be legally liable for an accident you may be held personally responsible if the cost of the loss exceeds the amount of your liability insurance limits.

This is why it is important to have sufficient liability coverage. You can check on property damage liability rates on our site.
