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

In Washington State, if a third-party is injured in your property due to a fire, you may be held responsible for their damages. Fire insurance claims law in Washington provides liability coverage in the event of a third-party being injured in your property due to a fire. Depending on the circumstances, you may be held liable for any medical expenses and pain and suffering caused by the fire. If you have homeowners insurance, it is likely that it will cover some of these costs. However, the exact amount of coverage varies from policy to policy and you should check with your insurance provider to find out the exact extent of your coverage. Many homeowners insurance policies also include additional liability coverage that can help you cover costs related to a fire-related injury. It is important to note that all insurance policies have limits. If the costs of a third-party’s injury exceed the limits of your policy, you may have to cover the remainder of the costs out-of-pocket. If you are found liable for any costs associated with a fire-related injury, it could be financially devastating. Therefore, it is important to make sure you are adequately protected with a comprehensive insurance policy.
