Umbrella insurance is extra insurance that provides protection beyond the existing limits and coverages of other policies. It can provide coverage for injuries, property damage, certain lawsuits, and personal liability situations. Talk to a Covered Advisor to see how it can help protect you.
The more you have to lose in a lawsuit, the more umbrella insurance might be worth to you. Those with more assets or greater potential earnings tend to benefit most from an umbrella policy.
You may also want to consider umbrella insurance if your lifestyle puts you at increased risk of injuring others and being sued (for example, you have a swimming pool or go hunting regularly).
If you have multiple assets such as many properties, boats, and other expensive items, it is best to go beyond the basic coverage provided by your home or auto insurance.
