Third party Insurance

Hi, I had a quick look for posts regarding insurance. Most posts relates to cover for theft and damage to the trailer and kayak. Is there a cover against third party that is caused by the trailer or the kayak....... trailer or kayak causing damage to another car or property? Thanks

Hope my questio...
