Which statement is true about liability insurance?

• A. It covers damage to other people or their property for which you are legally responsible
• B. It covers damage to your own equipment
• C. It provides health insurance
• D. It covers lost income from a tour

Answer: (A)

Liability insurance protects you when you are legally responsible for harming someone or damaging someone else’s property. It covers the costs of legal defense and any settlements or judgments up to policy limits. In a music context, this is the coverage you’d rely on if you accidentally injure a fan or cause damage at a venue. It does not cover your own equipment (that’s equipment or property insurance), it doesn’t provide health coverage, and it doesn’t pay for lost income from a tour (that would be business interruption or revenue protection). So the statement that liability insurance covers damage to other people or their property for which you are legally responsible is the true one.
