The Total Coverage Blog
Like most people, you don’t just have insurance because you’re required to — you have it to keep you secure no matter what goes wrong. Even if you never have to use it, you feel comfortable knowing that it’s there. Having a personal umbrella insurance policy takes that important idea one step further.
Personal umbrella policies describe a type of insurance that works in addition to your primary homeowners insurance and auto insurance. With coverage limits that begin at a million dollars and go up from there, these policies are designed to take over if an incident exceeds the coverage limits of your primary insurance plan.
While these umbrella policies are incredibly important, people have questions about what exactly these policies do — and if they’re one of the people who NEEDS an umbrella policy! Read our blog to learn more about this added coverage and to receive a FREE quote to add umbrella insurance to your plan.
The liability insurance policies you hold for your home, car or additional properties are oftentimes enough for the vast majority of situations people encounter. However, certain circumstances, such as a serious accident, can actually exceed the limits on your standard auto or homeowners insurance policy. This can leave you facing a lawsuit the damages of which exceed your policy limits.
This is where umbrella liability insurance proves to be essential. In this case, the additional umbrella coverage covers you if any of those individual liabilities are exceeded by the damages. While any policy will depend on the specifics related to you, your family, your property, and countless other factors, as a ballpark figure, adding umbrella coverage to your policy can add between $150 and $400 per year to your insurance bill.
In addition to the supplemental coverage, umbrella liability insurance also provides you coverage in foreign countries. This can prove extremely critical if you cause a vehicle accident in a foreign country while on vacation.
