Protection Above
Your Existing Limits.

An umbrella sits on top of your underlying policies and kicks in once their liability limits are used up.

Higher Limits

Extends Your Liability

If a claim exceeds your auto or home liability limits, the umbrella can pay the difference up to its own limit. Limits commonly start at $1 million.

  • ✓ Adds to auto, home, and often watercraft liability
  • ✓ Can help protect savings and future income
  • ✓ Limits can be increased in increments
Real Scenarios

What It Can Help With

  • ✓ Coverage details vary by carrier
  • ✓ Legal defense costs are typically included

Requirements

Underlying Policy Limits

  • ✓ We review your current limits first
  • ✓ May involve raising underlying liability limits
  • ✓ Often quoted alongside home and auto
Limits

What It Doesn't Cover

Umbrellas generally don't cover damage to your own property, your own injuries, intentional acts, or business liability. Those fall under other policies.

  • ✓ Business activities usually need business coverage
  • ✓ Some risks (like certain dog breeds) may be excluded
  • ✓ We highlight the exclusions up front

Who typically considers an umbrella.

There's no one-size-fits-all answer, but these situations often prompt the conversation.

You own a home or have savings to protect. More to lose usually means more reason to carry higher liability limits.

You have teen drivers. New drivers raise the odds of a serious claim.

You have a pool, trampoline, dog, or host often. More activity at your property can mean more liability exposure.

You want to sleep better. Even if the odds are low, a large uncovered claim is costly. An umbrella caps that risk.

Umbrella Insurance, Answered

A common guideline is to carry enough to protect your net worth and, for many people, future earnings, but the right number depends on your situation. We'll talk through your assets, risks, and budget and show pricing for different limits.
No. It sits on top of them. Your auto and home policies still pay first, and the umbrella only comes into play when a liability claim exceeds their limits.
Not always, but some carriers require or prefer to write the underlying policies too. That's why we often quote an umbrella together with home and auto so everything fits.
Generally it doesn't cover damage to your own property, your own injuries, intentional acts, or business-related liability. Policy terms vary by carrier, so we go over exclusions before you buy.
