Umbrella Insurance Plus

Updated Dec 26, 2025

Are You Really Protected?

Whether it’s a serious at-fault auto accident or an incident on your property, you can quickly find yourself responsible for damages that exceed the limits on your auto, homeowners, renters or boat policy. An Umbrella policy can help protect your assets and provide additional insurance protection.

Why You Need Umbrella Coverage

Extra Liability Protection

Provides an additional layer of liability coverage above and beyond your auto, homeowners, renters, or boat policies when those limits are exhausted.

Asset Protection

Helps protect your personal assets including savings, investments, home equity, and future earnings from large liability claims or lawsuits.

Legal Defense Coverage

When you require legal defense for a covered claim, the policy helps cover defense costs such as attorney’s fees and other legal expenses.

Broader Coverage

May cover certain liability claims that aren’t covered by your underlying policies, such as libel, slander, and false imprisonment claims.

Real-World Example: Coverage Gap

The driver in this example was involved in an at-fault accident that resulted in serious injuries to the other driver. The at-fault driver was sued, and the lawsuit resulted in a judgment as shown below:

Judgment amount:$1,500,000
Auto liability limit:$500,000 (maximum payout on the policy)
Gap in coverage:$1,000,000 (what the driver owes)
Without umbrella coverage: The driver’s personal assets (savings, investments, home equity, personal property) could be at risk to pay the $1 million gap.
With a $1 million umbrella policy: The coverage gap would have been fully covered, protecting the driver’s personal assets.

~$17/month

For a policy with $1 million limit of liability*

Flexible Coverage Limits

To make it easy for you to get the right level of coverage for your specific needs, we offer limits ranging from $1 million to $10 million for customers meeting eligibility criteria. Your agent can work with you to develop a customized “At Risk” worksheet to determine what level of coverage is appropriate for your needs.
