I don't know the answer to the above, but in this litigious society, I
would start with the opposite assumption.

But, if you own a house, you probably already have sufficient liability
insurance to cover the value of the house.  This a typical requirement
of mortgage lenders.  Liability insurance is bundled with fire/theft
insurance (at least, it was when I was a homeowner).

Ask.  USENET isn't really authoritative on matters like these.  Only
an attorney or your insurance broker can give you reliable advice.
