All You Ever Wanted to Know About Insurance

Why Even You Need Umbrella Insurance Coverage


Anyone can be the subject of a million dollar lawsuit resulting from injury or death from car, home or boat accidents.  An umbrella insurance policy protects you from catastrophic liability that may be directed against you in the event of accidents you may be held responsible for. 

What a Personal Umbrella Insurance Policy Covers

An umbrella policy provides additional liability limits to your home, condo , renters and auto policy of at least $1,000,000. You can acquire more coverage up to $5,000,000 as well. This policy also covers things that may be excluded from other policies already in place.

Imagine these genuine scenarios:

  • A friend assisted your son in cleaning your house gutters. The friend suddenly lost his balance and fell off the ladder, resulting in a severe neck injury. The boy’s family filed a lawsuit against you. In light of the many surgeries he must undergo, the jury awarded the injured boy’s family $1,500,000.

  • The rainy conditions certainly contributed to the crash you were involved in. Nonetheless, you, alone, are responsible for the single mother and her toddler child's severe injuries. The lawsuit culminated in a jury decision to award them with $1,700,000.

  • Vacations are supposed to be happy junctures. Nothing is guaranteed though: your teenage son lost control while skiing down a slope, resulting in four other people's injuries. The jury awarded $1,200,000 to one, whose injuries included face disfiguring.

  • As your wife drove your young children and their pals to a ball practice, she crashed into another car. A number of kids were severely hurt. The jury awarded $1,600,000 to the families of these children.
