Third Party Liability

DEFINITION

Third-party liability is the legal responsibility of a person or business to compensate another external party for injury or damage caused. It is required in many types of insurance, such as motor and commercial liability policies, and helps protect against financial loss from legal claims by third parties.

ELI5

If you cause harm or damage to someone else, third-party liability means you may have to pay them. Insurance can help cover that cost.
