Common Umbrella Insurance Questions:

What is an umbrella insurance policy?
Liability insurance is designed to protect you if you ever make a mistake that harms others, and that you are responsible for paying for. However, the coverage within your personal liability plans will have limits attached. If a claim were to exceed the policy’s limits, then you might be forced to pay the difference that remains on the claim. 

An umbrella liability policy will ensure that you can file this additional claim. Though you might have maxed out the coverage of a standard liability plan, your umbrella coverage will be the policy to provide the added financial assistance.

What does umbrella insurance cover?
A single personal umbrella policy can apply to numerous liability policies at the same time, including:

To use your umbrella plan, you must first file a claim against your existing liability benefits. Those plans will pay up to their limits, at which time you can turn to your umbrella plan to pay the residual costs. With it, you’ll be able to settle your losses with those to whom you owe money, with a minimal financial loss to yourself.

Most plans offer a basic limit of at least $1 million, and some will even cover liabilities that are not insured by your basic plan. So, if you ever find yourself lacking coverage in one plan, then you might find the solution in your umbrella plan.

Who needs umbrella insurance?
You might not realize that you need an umbrella plan, but if you ever wind up in a situation where you face a massive liability claim against you, then you will see exactly how beneficial your plan can be.

Suppose that you have homeowners insurance with a liability limit of $500,000. A neighbor falls down your steps, sustains a severe injury, and sues you for $2 million worth of medical bills, lost income and other damages. That’s a $1.5 million difference between what you owe this neighbor. Umbrella liability insurance will help you pay for that gap in coverage.
