Liability Insurance
An insurance policy that guards the policyholder from legal expenses resulting from a lawsuit. This includes both attorneys' fees and damages that the policyholder must pay. Liability insurance is common in professions in which lawsuits are common, such as the medical field. A physician may buy liability insurance to protect himself/herself from the possibility that a patient will sue her for malpractice, negligence, or for any other reason. Premiums on liability insurance are sometimes considered prohibitively expensive, depending on the profession.
