Understanding Umbrella Insurance

An Extra Layer of Liability Protection

Your auto and homeowners insurance policies provide liability protection, but every policy has limits.

If you are responsible for a serious accident or injury and the resulting claim exceeds the liability limits of your underlying policy, an umbrella policy can provide additional liability protection, subject to its terms and conditions.

  • Additional liability protection
  • Protection that can extend above qualifying auto and home liability coverage
  • Coverage designed for serious liability claims
  • An additional layer of protection for your assets and future income

Medical expenses, lost wages, rehabilitation, property damage and other damages can add up quickly.

If the resulting liability claim exceeds your underlying auto policy limits, an umbrella policy may provide an additional layer of protection, subject to the policy's terms and conditions.
