What liability coverage do I have if a third-party is injured in my property due to a fire?

In Utah, if a third-party is injured in your property due to a fire, you may be liable for their injuries depending on the type of fire insurance coverage you have. In the event of a covered fire loss, most fire insurance policies in Utah provide coverage for both property damage and legal liability to third-parties. This liability coverage would include compensation for any medical expenses, pain and suffering, and lost wages that cause a third-party to suffer a loss due to an insured fire. However, there are limitations and exclusions to this type of coverage. These typically include damage or losses due to intentional acts or intentional negligence. Additionally, if the damage or losses are caused by a tenant resident in your property, they are excluded under most policies. It is important to carefully review your fire insurance policy to determine what type of coverage you have. In the event of a fire, it is important to contact your insurance company as soon as possible. They can help to determine what type of coverage you have and advise you on how to proceed with a claim. Additionally, if you are liable for a third-party’s losses due to fire damage, an attorney can help to navigate the process and ensure that your rights are protected.
