Does Auto Insurance Pay For Death Of Someone Else In An Accident? 
If you are held liable for an auto related death your auto insurance policy could pay up to the limit of liability you carry depending on final judgement . In California there is no set amount other then what is determined by the court . You could be sued for 1 million dollars or more which is why I always recommend an umbrella policy . If the judgement is great then your currentcoveragethe insurance company can max out and their obligation is met . Once the insurance companies obligation is met the courts can put a lien or judgement against your assets to make up thedifference . This could include home , cars , other properties and even your retirement .
