Question

John occasionally borrows the car of his friend, Sophie. Sophie has a PAP with liability limits of 100/300/50. John also has a PAP, and his liability limits 250/500/50. John had an accident while using Sophie's car and was found to be legally liable for $300,000 in bodily injury liability for injuries suffered by one person. How much will be paid by each policy?

Answer 1

Answer:

Sophie's policy will pay up to its maximum amount of $100,000 and John's policy should pay the rest ($200,000).

Explanation:

Personal Auto Policies (PAP) provide coverage in case of injury to the insured or other third parties involved in a car accident. PAP policies provide coverage even when you occasional borrow a car. If you regularly drive someone else's car you need extended non owned liability coverage endorsement.
