Full Tort Liability Insurance

What is Full Tort Liability Insurance?

Full tort liability insurance coverage is a product in some states that is offered to allow the policy's covered persons to claim and sue for damages without condition. If the insured has, however, purchased "limited tort" coverage, this less expensive form of liability insurance prevents the insured from suing other parties for any but the most serious injury as it is defined under the policy.
