If you were found negligent or liable for someone else’s bodily injury or death, would you have enough insurance to protect your assets?
Umbrella insurance is a stand-alone liability policy that can provide an additional limit of liability over and above your underlying liability limits that are already on your homeowners and auto insurance policies.
Life can be unpredictable and as much as we plan for the best, sometimes the worst can happen. This is where umbrella insurance comes into play and provides you with additional coverage that goes above and beyond to protect your assets.
What is Umbrella Insurance?
Umbrella insurance is additional protection when unfortunate covered liability events occur, much like an umbrella protects you from rain and inclement weather. Extra liability insurance can help protect you personally from covered lawsuits and claims beyond standard policy limits on your auto, home, renters, and other insurance policies.
Otherwise, your lifetime accumulation of assets, savings, retirement accounts, and future earnings could be at risk in a lawsuit where you are held responsible for damages or bodily injuries.
Contrary to your opinion, your auto or home insurance policy limits won't fully protect you against every risk. However, those policies will cover the costs up to your policy limits, which you would expect.
As part of your insurance portfolio, this supplemental policy reduces your risk exposure. In addition, umbrella insurance can kick in once liability limits on your insurance policies have reached liability limits.
