Umbrella Coverages

    If you are ever sued, your standard homeowners or auto policy will usually provide you with liability coverage which pays for judgements against you and your attorney's fees. However, you may want to have an extra layer of liability protection. That's what a personal umbrella liability policy provides.

It kicks in when you reach the limit on the underlying liability coverage in a homeowners, renders, condo, or auto policy. An umbrella policy will also cover you for things such as libel and slander.

If you feel insecure with the amount of insurance you have, then you should consider purchasing a personal umbrella liability policy. This additional protection is usually quite inexpensive - a few hundred dollars for $1 million or more coverage.

Because the personal umbrella policy goes into affect after the underlying coverage is exhausted, there are certain limits that usually must be met in order to purchase this coverage:

  • Homeowners Liability - typical minimum required - $100,000
  • Auto Insurance Liability - typical minimum required -

$100,000/bodily injury per person

$300,000/bodily injury per occurrence

$25,000/property damage
