Common Questions

  • When does umbrella insurance kick in?

    Only after your primary policy (home, auto, etc.) pays out in full. Umbrella covers the remaining costs, up to its limit.

  • Is it expensive?

    Not usually. Because it only activates after other policies, umbrella insurance is often surprisingly affordable for the amount of coverage it provides.

  • Do I really need it?

    If you own property, have savings, or could be at risk of a lawsuit, umbrella insurance is worth considering for extra protection.
