Under a standard Homeowners policy, which coverage pays for injuries to a guest for which the insured is legally liable?
Explanation
Coverage E (Personal Liability) responds when the insured is legally liable for bodily injury or property damage to others, providing a defense and paying damages up to the limit. Coverage F (Medical Payments to Others) is a related coverage that pays smaller medical bills regardless of fault. Coverages A through D address the insured's own property and loss of use, not liability to third parties.
