Get that additional layer of protection
Umbrella insurance is designed to shield you from big, potentially disastrous liability claims or judgments when your underlying liability limitations (such as those from a homeowners or auto insurance policy) are reached; personal umbrella coverage kicks in.
Understanding how Personal Umbrella Insurance works
Consider the following example to see how umbrella insurance can assist. If a driver runs a red light and collides with another vehicle, the vehicle may sustain substantial damage, and multiple persons may be harmed.
With car repairs totaling $50,000 and medical care exceeding $500,000, the driver at fault may be held accountable for charges significantly exceeding their insurance coverage limitations. An umbrella insurance policy will cover any additional liability charges that exceed the limits of your car insurance coverage.
Why do I need Personal Umbrella Insurance?
Consider your assets and their role in promoting financial security to answer that question effectively. Of course, when thinking about assets, the usual items come to mind: your car, house, investment accounts, and checking and savings accounts. However, your projected future income stream can be considered an asset in general. It could be the most valuable asset of all.
If you become the focus of a lawsuit for a large sum of money but do not have adequate insurance to cover the damages, you will have to pay the expenses out of pocket. This could result in severe financial hardship. However, umbrella coverage can protect you from financial disaster if you make an accidental mistake or have an unanticipated mishap.
