Does my homeowners insurance cover the cost of an attorney if i am sued in civil court?
got into a fight and might be sued for medical expenses

Well,

Homeowners insurance liability coverage would extend to unforeseen, and accidental occurrences. Criminal acts are excluded. So, since fighting is foreseen, intentional AND criminal to boot, I'd predict a denial of coverage in your future.

I'd be offering up an apology and $$ for out of pocket expenses if I were you. Good luck.

Not for a fight. And it won't cover the medical expenses, either, assuming you're over 13.

It has to be a "covered" cause of loss, unexpected, and unintended. And a fight isn't that. Assault is specifically excluded.


stephenweinstein
If homeowner's insurance would be paying for the money awarded if you lost the suit (for example, if someone slipped on your icy front steps), then they will pay for a lawyer so that you do not lose so that they do not have to pay the winner.

However, if you are being sued because you are the person who hit, punched, kicked, or otherwise attacked someone, not because you own the place where it happened, then no.

I doubt it. Your liability insurance may cover the other persons medical bills, though I have my doubts about that as well. Looks like you may have some unexpected expenses coming your way...

You sir, have a sticky situation.

You'll need to contact your insurance agent, but I'm willing to bet money that your insurance will NOT cover legal fees...after all, they refused to cover expenses incured during Hurricane Katrina because they "found" loopholes and were able to get out of paying the claims.

More details would have been helpful, like did your house fall on somebody's sister or something?

Your homeowners policy will cover you for claims which arise out of your home ownership. If you have an umbrella, it may also cover you for claims which do not arise out of your home. Check your policy to be sure. Your homeowners policy will also include some amount ($1,000 or $5,000) for medical payments coverage to cover other people's cost for necessary medical care if they are injured on your property or by your dog. If your claim arose out of a bar fight or something totally unrelated to your home, you probably won't be covered, but if there is coverage, your insurance policy will provide you with free counsel to protect you and with indemnity protection which means they will pay the judgment up to policy limits. If you get sued, give the papers to your insurer or agent and they might cover it or not remember to deny coverage so you might get covered. Also if there is a chance that the claim could be covered, but it might not be, they can issue a reservation of rights letter meaning they will pay for your attorney but might not pay the judgment. You can work w/ your lawyer to try to change the allegations then to make them fit w/in coverage . Good luck and stop hitting people.

No. Homeowners covers cost for your home. Not court.

Same way your car insurance would not help you in court if someone sues you for an accident.
