Life can be unpredictable, but your coverage doesn’t have to be. Umbrella insurance adds extra liability protection to help safeguard your assets and give you lasting peace of mind.
Umbrella insurance provides extra liability coverage beyond your auto and homeowners policies. It helps protect your savings and assets if a large claim goes over your standard limits.
Umbrella coverage can help with major liability claims, legal costs, and certain lawsuits involving injuries or property damage. Coverage details vary by policy and situation.
Umbrella insurance is a smart option for homeowners, high net worth individuals, families with teen drivers, and anyone who wants stronger financial protection against unexpected events.
Umbrella insurance applies after the liability limits on your primary policies are reached. It acts as an added layer of protection when a claim becomes more expensive than expected.
The right amount depends on your assets, lifestyle, and risk exposure. Many people choose coverage that matches their net worth so they are better protected in worst case scenarios.
Umbrella insurance is often affordable compared to the level of protection it provides. It can help prevent a serious accident or lawsuit from becoming a long term financial setback.

Personal umbrella insurance adds liability protection above qualifying homeowners, renters, auto, boat, and other underlying policies. It is designed for severe covered claims that could exceed a primary policy limit and put savings, property, or future income at risk.
Depending on the policy, an umbrella can help with covered bodily injury, property damage, legal defense, and personal-injury allegations such as libel or slander. Coverage applies only when the claim and underlying insurance satisfy the umbrella policy’s terms.
A personal umbrella generally does not cover your own damaged property, intentional acts, most contractual obligations, or business and professional exposures unless specifically included. Review exclusions for rental property, watercraft, young drivers, and other higher-risk activities.
The umbrella usually requires specified underlying liability limits and applies after a covered primary limit is exhausted. All vehicles, homes, rental properties, watercraft, and household drivers should be disclosed so the underlying-policy requirements can be checked.
Consider current assets, future earnings, household drivers, rental property, recreational vehicles, pets, travel, and other activities that could create a large liability claim. The goal is to select a limit that reflects both what you own and the severity of a realistic loss.
Provide declarations pages for the home, auto, boat, rental-property, and other liability policies, plus driver, property, vehicle, watercraft, and recent-claim information. This allows the agency to confirm eligible exposures and required underlying limits.
