Personal liability insurance
Household coverage for bicycles, children, pets, water damage, and exclusions.
Direct answers
Personal liability covers legal liability arising from daily life — a child breaking property, a cycling accident, or certain water-leak claims — and one household policy or rider is often enough for the whole family.

Key points

- It is commonly attached as a cheap rider to auto, fire, or card cover.
- Business activities, professional liability, and intentional acts are excluded.
- Confirm the household definition and any liability to household members.
One rider, whole household
Because personal-liability riders are cheap and broad, most families need only one — but confirm the household definition, the limit, whether legal support is included, and that it covers bicycle and pet-related liability.
