My sister is looking at purchasing a liability coverage for her car insurance here in Los Angeles, California. What would this auto insurance coverage do for her in case she gets into an accident?

Most states require any driver to have at least liability coverage for the auto insurance. This is probably the reason why liability coverage is the foundation of auto insurance policies in most states here in the US. If your sister gets into an accident and it was her fault, her liability auto insurance in Los Angeles, California would pay for any kind of physical injury and medical costs and for any kind of damage to the property of the other individuals in the accident. This would include the repair or replacement of the things she may have damaged during the accident.

But the liability coverage would not pay for any damage on your sister’s automobile, her injuries and/or her property damage. It would pay for the legal fees for her and also for anyone else who is included in her auto insurance policy. It would also pay to bail her out of jail if things get a bit testy at the place where the accident happened. Liability coverage would also pay for any kind of emergency help during the accident, such as an ambulance.
