Why Standard Coverage Isn’t Enough
A serious accident can quickly exceed the limits of your homeowners or auto insurance:
- You cause a multi-car accident on I-85 with damages over $1 million.
- A guest is seriously injured in your pool and medical bills top $500,000.
- A lawsuit for defamation or liability runs into six figures.
When your base policy stops, you’re on the hook for the rest — unless you have umbrella coverage.
What Umbrella Insurance Covers
Umbrella insurance is extra liability protection designed to stack on top of your home, auto, or renters policies.Typical coverage includes:
- Bodily Injury Liability – injuries caused in auto accidents or at your property.
- Property Damage Liability – costs for damaging someone else’s property.
- Legal Defense – attorney fees, court costs, settlements.
- Personal Liability – claims like libel, slander, or reputational harm.
Coverage starts at $1 million and can scale higher depending on your needs.
💡 Real-world insight:
