Umbrella insurance is a type of liability coverage that provides additional protection beyond the limits of your underlying policies, such as home, auto, and boat insurance. It's designed to safeguard your assets, including your savings, investments, and property, from catastrophic financial losses.
Statistically, lawsuits are becoming increasingly common, and jury awards are rising at an alarming rate. According to the American Bar Association, the median jury award in a personal injury case has climbed by over 120% in the past decade. This means that even if you're not at fault for an accident, you could still be held financially responsible for significant damages.
The amount of umbrella insurance you need depends on your individual circumstances, including your assets, income, and lifestyle. Generally, it's recommended to have at least $1,000,000 in coverage to provide meaningful protection. However, if you have substantial assets or exposure to lawsuits, you may want to consider higher limits.
Obtaining an umbrella insurance quote is simple. Most insurance companies offer this coverage as an option when purchasing home or auto insurance. You can also contact an independent insurance agent to compare quotes from multiple providers.
