Experiencing a major insurance claim or lawsuit could lead to personal financial loss if costs exceed coverage provided by your standard homeowners and car insurance policies. We’ll help protect your financial future.

Additional coverage for an extra layer of protection.

Umbrella insurance has an unusual name, but it’s a simple concept–it’s an extra liability policy for added peace of mind. Most commonly, it is something you get in addition to either an auto or homeowners insurance policy.

Focuses primarily on liability claims.

Personal umbrella insurance covers you specifically for liability, which is the cost you might have to pay to somebody else for an unfortunate event where you are held responsible. It doesn’t usually include losses you bear yourself, such as if your property is damaged or your possessions are stolen.

Pays out when liability coverage limits are not enough.

You’d usually get umbrella insurance when your main insurance policy has liability coverage limits that are too low for your needs. Umbrella insurance will only pay out when your main policy has already been paid out in full, and it will only pay out the remainder of your costs.

How does umbrella insurance work?

For example, if your auto policy covers liability up to $500,000 but you cause an accident that leaves the other driver with medical bills of $600,000, your main policy will pay out in full, and the umbrella insurance policy will kick in for the remaining $100,000.

Is umbrella coverage right for your needs?

The umbrella insurance policy itself will have its own limit, but this is less likely to be an issue. An umbrella insurance policy can be cheaper than you might think. While it covers large potential payouts, the premium usually reflects the reduced risk that the policy will need to pay out.
