Excess / Umbrella Insurance

Who Needs This Coverage?

High-Net-Worth Individuals

The more assets you have, the more you have to lose in a lawsuit. Umbrella coverage protects your savings, investments, and property.

Homeowners with Pools or Trampolines

These amenities significantly increase your liability exposure. An umbrella policy provides the extra protection you need.

Business Owners

Commercial umbrella policies extend above your general liability, commercial auto, and employer's liability policies.

Landlords

Rental property owners face liability from tenant injuries, property damage claims, and wrongful eviction suits.

Parents of Teen Drivers

Teen drivers dramatically increase accident risk. An umbrella policy is a smart, affordable safeguard.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does umbrella insurance work?

When a covered claim exceeds your underlying policy's limit, your umbrella policy pays the excess — up to its own limit. For example, if you have $300K in auto liability and face a $1M judgment, your umbrella covers the remaining $700K.

What underlying policies do I need to have?

Most umbrella policies require minimum underlying limits on your home, auto, and other policies. We'll review your current coverage and make sure everything is properly structured.

How much does umbrella insurance cost?

A $1M personal umbrella policy typically costs $150–$300 per year — making it one of the most affordable forms of significant protection available.

Does umbrella insurance cover business activities?

Personal umbrella policies generally exclude business activities. Business owners need a commercial umbrella or excess liability policy to cover business-related claims.
