Your Guide to Umbrella Insurance
What Is Umbrella Insurance?
Umbrella insurance is an additional layer of liability protection that steps in when your standard policies reach their coverage limits. It helps cover legal fees, medical costs, settlements, and other expenses that exceed what your primary policy can handle. Umbrella coverage helps protect your financial future, including your savings, investments, and even your potential earnings.
Why Consider Umbrella Coverage?
Coverage Beyond Primary Limits: Extends protection once your home, auto, or business policy caps out.
Fills Coverage Gaps: Often includes protections not covered by standard liability policies.
Protects Your Assets and Income: Shields what you’ve worked hard to build.
Peace of Mind: Offers financial reassurance in high-cost legal situations.

Choosing the right coverage starts with understanding your risk. Your independent insurance agent will be able to walk you through exactly what is needed to find the right coverage for you. They may begin by:
- Considering your assets

- Individuals with significant assets or retirement savings
- Families with teen drivers
- Property owners, landlords, or Airbnb hosts
- Recreational vehicle or watercraft owners

Personal vs. Commercial Umbrella Insurance
Personal Umbrella Insurance
Designed for individuals and families, this policy extends coverage beyond your standard auto, home, boat, or other personal insurance policies. It’s especially important if you:
- Host guests frequently
- Own rental properties
- Have teen drivers or recreational vehicles
Your umbrella insurance coverage picks up where your liability coverage ends, shielding your finances with an additional layer of liability protection.
Commercial Umbrella Insurance
Adds an extra layer of protection on top of your business’s general and professional liability policies. It’s designed to cover large claims that exceed your standard policy limits and is a smart option for business owners facing elevated liability risks.
