Top 4 Reasons to Have Umbrella Insurance
If you are responsible for children or dependents, an Umbrella Policy may be a great option to protect yourself even if they caused the accident or claim.
Consider your teen drivers being responsible for a car accident, one of their friend's get hurt on your property, or if a lawsuit arises based on something they said online to a person.
When it comes to yourself and your family, the level of control is in your hands, but if you own rental properties, nothing can be certain.
If someone gets hurt in one of your properties, and that renter does not have the right coverage, you may be left at fault. Or even if a lawsuit arises from the renter themselves. Umbrella Insurance is a critical part of protecting your assets.
Lets say you are walking your dog, and it thought someone was a threat, and your dog bit them and caused injury.
Umbrella Insurance will normally cover bodily injury to others, and if that person who is bitten can not work or has lost wages, and even related medical bills, a Personal Umbrella may have saved you in this situation.
When it comes to hobbies with other types of non-automotive vehicles, you want to stay protected.
Owning a RV, Boat, ATV, or Motorcycle always can open you up to risks, and that extra layer of protection with Umbrella Insurance beyond your regular policies can be a worthwhile and cost effective investment.
