Umbrella Insurance
Umbrella insurance is extra insurance that provides protection beyond existing limits and coverages of other policies.
Umbrella insurance provides coverage for claims that may be excluded by other liability policies including claims like false arrest, libel, slander, and liability coverage on rental units you own.
Is your financial security at risk?
Would your liability insurance you currently have in place through your automobile, homeowners, or other personal insurance policies be enough to cover you in the event of a huge loss? Possibly not, considering the size and frequency of lawsuits have increased dramatically over the past few decades.
You could be at risk of losing everything you have worked so hard for over the years – your home, cars, and even your future income! But if you have a Personal Umbrella Policy you can rest easy knowing that you are covered for an additional limit of $1,000,000 or more!
