be liable for

French translation: sera tenu responsable / tenu de payer

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
English term or phrase:be liable for
French translation:sera tenu responsable / tenu de payer

English to French translations [PRO]
Bus/Financial - Insurance / general
English term or phrase: be liable for
Dans une police d'assurance, le terme revient régulièrement dans le même contexte:
The Insurer shall be liabe for the costs resulting of an insured damage.

Peut-on traduire ici "be liable for" par "prendre en charge"? C'est bien entendu le sens général, je me demande juste si, juridiquement, il n'y aurait pas une différence avec "être responsable, engager sa responsabilité", etc.

Un grand merci par avance pour vos avis éclairés!

sera tenu responsable / tenu de payer
Explanation:
To be liable for something means to be legally responsible for something. A liability is a legal obligation.

"prendre en charge" ne représente pas l'obligation légale donc je ne l'utiliserais pas
