per person limit

Per person limit is the maximum amount the insurer will pay for one person's injuries.

Additional Information


This type of limit is sometimes used with liability insurance. If two people are injured in an auto accident and the at-fault driver's policy has a $50,000 per person limit, the insurer will pay no more than $50,000 to each person for his or her injuries. If one person's injuries are worth $25,000 and the other person's are worth $75,000, the first claimant will receive $25,000 and the second will receive the per person maximum of $50,000 from the insurer.
