00:00Third-party insurance generally does not cover damage to your own vehicle or property, nor your own injuries in many
00:06policies.
00:07It primarily covers your legal liability for damage or injury you cause to other people.
00:12What is excluded varies significantly by country, policy wording, and the type of third-party cover.
00:19Common exclusions include
00:201. Your own vehicle damage
00:24Collision repairs, theft, vandalism, fire, or whether damage normally require comprehensive or collision coverage.
00:312. Your own injuries
00:33Third-party motor insurance may not pay your medical expenses.
00:38Depending on the jurisdiction, separate personal injury or medical coverage may apply.
00:433. Intentional damage or illegal use
00:47Insurers generally exclude deliberately caused losses and certain incidents involving
00:52Prohibited or unlawful vehicle use
00:554. Damage to property belonging to you or certain related parties
01:01Coverage can be restricted when the damaged property is owned by the policyholder or falls within specific exclusions
01:075. Uninsured losses above the policy limit
01:11If you cause $100,000 of covered damage but your liability limit is $50,000, you could remain personally responsible
01:20for the $50,000 difference.
01:226. Business or specialized use
01:25Using a privately insured vehicle for commercial activities, racing, or other excluded purposes can invalidate or restrict coverage.
01:34The answer changes by location. Compulsory third-party insurance rules in the US, Canada, the UK, Australia, and other countries
01:43are not identical, and even within one country insurers can impose different exclusions.
01:48Before relying on the policy, check the declarations page, liability limits, exclusions, and definitions of insured, vehicle, and property damage.
01:59Practically, if you want protection for your own car as well as third-party claims,
02:03Compare third-party-only coverage with comprehensive-slash-collision insurance, and verify the exclusions in writing before purchasing.
