In insurance, what does a "liability" refer to?

A legal responsibility for damages
A long-term investment strategy
A record-keeping system
A mutual agreement between parties

The correct answer is: A legal responsibility for damages

A "liability" in the context of insurance refers to a legal responsibility for damages caused to another party. This involves situations where an individual or business may be held financially responsible for injury or loss that results from their actions or negligence. Liability coverage in insurance policies is designed to protect insured parties from claims arising from these responsibilities, ensuring that they can cover legal costs and potential settlements. The other options don't accurately describe liability within the insurance framework. Investment strategies pertain to financial planning rather than legal responsibility. A record-keeping system relates to managing information and data, which does not encompass the concept of liability. Lastly, a mutual agreement between parties generally refers to contracts or commitments but does not specifically capture the essence of liability as a legal obligation to address damages inflicted on others.
