A personal umbrella policy can provide coverage in excess of other policies limits, and in some cases if coverage is excluded on other policies the umbrella will drop down to cover the loss.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What does umbrella insurance actually cover that my home and auto policies don't?
Umbrella insurance provides liability coverage above the limits of your home, auto, or other policies, and in some cases can cover claims those policies exclude entirely by “dropping down” to respond.
How much umbrella coverage do I need?
The right amount depends on your assets, income, and exposure — homeowners with pools, dogs, teen drivers, or recreational vehicles typically carry higher risk and may want more coverage. We help you calculate the right limit for your situation.
Do I need umbrella insurance if I own a boat, ATV, or motorcycle?
Recreational vehicles like boats, ATVs, and motorcycles carry liability risks that can quickly exceed standard policy limits, which is exactly the kind of exposure umbrella insurance is designed to cover.
Does umbrella insurance cover incidents involving guests on my property, like a pool or trampoline accident?
Yes, umbrella coverage is commonly used for exactly this kind of liability exposure — accidents involving guests, playground equipment, pools, or animals on your property.
Am I covered if I serve alcohol to guests and someone is injured afterward?
Hosting and serving alcohol can create liability exposure beyond your standard homeowners policy, which is one of the common reasons people add umbrella coverage.
Is umbrella insurance only for high-net-worth individuals?
No — while it’s especially valuable for high-net-worth households, anyone with a home, vehicles, or recreational equipment can benefit from the added liability protection.
How does umbrella insurance work if I'm sued above my auto or home policy limits?
If a claim or lawsuit exceeds your underlying auto or home policy limits, the umbrella policy can step in to cover the excess, protecting your savings and other assets.
What kinds of claims has umbrella insurance actually paid out for?
Umbrella policies commonly respond to situations like watercraft injuries, an injured guest working on your property, or an at-fault accident involving a recreational vehicle where damages exceed the underlying policy.
