With this, the insurer provides legal defense services and pays any sums that the insured may be obligated to pay, up to the monetary limit of the policy. Section II coverage in the ISO HO-3 policy includes liability coverages under Coverage E and Coverage F. Coverage E protects the insured when a claim or suit for damages is brought because of bodily injury or property damage that an insured's negligence allegedly caused. ±e coverage is broad and based on legal liability. ±e policy contains a per-occurrence limit. An occurrence is de²ned as an accident that results in bodily injury or property damage during the policy period. ±e insurer provides a legal defense, even if the suit is frivolous or fraudulent. Coverage F is a mini-accident policy that's part of a homeowners policy. Medical payments to others aren't based on legal liability. ±is coverage pays the reasonable medical expenses of another person who is accidentally injured while on an insured location, or due to the activities of an insured, resident employee, or animal that the insured cares for or owns. ±e policy states the situations under which coverage applies.
