Category: Umbrella Insurance

Umbrella insurance is a great insurance option to get coverage for all types of liabilities you may encounter. While you can get liability insurance included in many different types of insurance, such as car insurance and commercial insurance, umbrella insurance usually offers much larger coverage for many different situations.

What situations require umbrella insurance

Umbrella insurance is usually required in situations where the word "liability" fits in. Some examples of these situations include:

• Someone visits your home and goes through bodily harm because of an accident within your house or garden. You could be liable to cover any medical costs or, in worse cases, you could be sued. 
• You might be liable if your pet hurts someone who visits your home, or in some cases, if your pet hurts another person outside. 
• In some cases, you could be liable if you go into someone else’s home and break one of their valuable items. While most of the time the owner of these items will have insured these items themselves, or it comes included in their home insurance, never assume that the replacement costs are automatically covered. 
• Underage members of your household cause harm to a visitor in your home. You are not only liable if you hurt someone in your household, but if your children are involved in an incident, this could make you liable too.

Excess liability insurance is an extra layer of liability insurance that bolsters up liability coverage you already have on a policy you carry. For example, auto insurance may have 250,000 in liability coverage, but an excess liability policy can bring that up to 1 million or more. At Pikes Peak Insurance Agency in CO, we are a family-owned independent insurance agency serving the local community since 2005. We believe in finding the best coverage for our customers at a great price.

Umbrella insurance is excess liability coverage. It can benefit anyone who has any assets. When you have assets, they are always at risk in the event of a judgment against you. That is why you have liability insurance on your home, auto, business, and more. When someone is injured by you or by a member of your family, they may opt to sue you. Depending on the severity of the injury and the size of the judgment, this can be a costly situation. You will also have legal fees that need to be paid.

Most liability insurance that comes with your policy can be adequate if you have limited assets. But, many people have some accumulated wealth. It can be in a home you own, personal possessions you have acquired, or savings you are putting aside for your future. All of these could be at risk if you get sued. This is where the umbrella coverage steps in and adds a layer of protection to your assets. Umbrella coverage usually begins at about a million dollars but can be as high as five million. Basically speaking, if you have any assets, you can benefit from umbrella insurance.
