Umbrella Coverage

PERSONAL UMBRELLA LIABILITY POLICY

If you are ever sued, your stan­dard home­own­ers or auto pol­icy will usu­ally pro­vide you with lia­bil­ity cov­er­age which pays for judg­ments against you and your attorney’s fees. How­ever, in this liti­gious world we live, 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, renters, condo or auto pol­icy. An umbrella pol­icy may also cover you for things that may not be cov­ered in the under­ly­ing pol­icy, 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.
For about $150 to $200 per year you can buy a $1 mil­lion per­sonal umbrella lia­bil­ity pol­icy. The next mil­lion will cost about $75 and $50 for every mil­lion after that.
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:
