Defense

What is it? Coverage provided in most liability policies, which pays for the cost of defending the insured in the event of lawsuit regarding a covered loss. Defense cost, in the auto policy, is said to be unlimited, in that the policy requires the insurer to pay whatever is necessary, however it is actually limited in that the insurer can pay policy limits in damages and thereby avoid the defense requirement entirely.
