Most people wisely protect themselves against liability claims by purchasing homeowners, automobile, watercraft or other liability insurance coverage. Although this basic (primary) liability insurance is essential, it is often not enough.
Recall that in recent years the tendency of juries has been to grant larger and larger financial awards. This trend could have devastating significance for you if you:
Imagine being sued and found liable for damages of one million dollars or even more. What financial effect would such a loss have on you…your family…your future?
With the added protection of a Personal Umbrella Policy, you can get through a situation as this and have the peace of mind that comes with personal security.
The basic umbrella policy is issued for $1,000,000. Higher limits, in increments of one million dollars are available for additional premium.
A personal Umbrella Policy provides the extra liability coverage you need.
It takes over where your primary liability coverage stops, providing protection over and above the limits of your primary policies.
The Personal Umbrella Policy also provides coverage usually not found in your primary policies, such as:
In the event a lawsuit brings the Personal Umbrella Policy into play, the insurance company which issued the Personal Umbrella policy will provide defense coverage if it is not already provided in your primary liability coverage. Even if the lawsuit is groundless, the insurance company will pay the cost to defend you.
In Ohio, a family with one house, two cars, a boat under 26 feet, and a one-family rental dwelling could afford a million dollars of umbrella coverage for less than $120. Endorse an umbrella to your Homeowner Policy and enjoy additional savings.
The Personal Umbrella can be combined with the homeowner and auto insurance in one cover-all package policy to conveniently handle all of your personal insurance needs and provide additional savings.
