umbrella

It’s a fact. You can try to be very cautious, but still make mistakes which cause injuries or damages to others. You may think you’re protected because you have home or auto insurance, but still discover that you need more protection if your actions result in very serious injuries or damages to another. 

With personal umbrella insurance, you can add an extra layer of protection to avoid financial disaster in the event of a large claim against you.

Our flexible and affordable options for personal umbrella insurance can protect the savings you’ve worked so hard to build. Don’t hesitate to talk to an agent about the benefits of umbrella coverage.

Why Get Umbrella Insurance?

Umbrella insurance is additional insurance on top of your insurance. You might wonder why you need that. But think about it like this — your home and auto policies have limits and only pay out so much per incident.

If someone suffers significant injuries on your property or you’re involved in a bad auto accident and you are found to bear some or all of the responsibility, those limits could run out. We all know that medical bills are more costly than ever and injured persons are entitled to recover for their pain and suffering, as well.

Without the extra safety net of umbrella insurance, you might have to dip into your own pocket to pay the difference between what your home or auto policy covers and the person’s actual damages — amounts that could reach tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Limits to Umbrella Coverage

Umbrella insurance can do a lot for you, but it can’t do everything. There are some things umbrella insurance doesn’t cover, like injuries or property damage resulting from intentional acts.
