Personal Umbrella Liability Insurance
1. The Basics of Personal Umbrella Liability Policies
If you are found to be legally responsible for injuring someone or damaging their
property without a personal umbrella liability insurance policy, anything beyond
the limits of your standard liability insurance coverage will come out of your own
pocket. Standard liability insurance generally includes homeowners, renters,
auto and watercraft policies.
A personal umbrella liability policy provides an extra layer of insurance coverage
over your standard liability policies. It protects your personal assets by kicking in
when your standard liability coverage is exhausted.
Who Needs an Umbrella Liability Policy?
At SterlingRisk, we recommend that everyone should consider carrying an
umbrella policy. If you engage in a high-risk activity or hobby that increases your
odds of getting suedsuch as having a teenage driver, owning a swimming pool
or entertaining frequentlyit is wise to supplement your insurance with a
personal umbrella liability policy.
How Much Coverage Do I Need?
Youll want to take into consideration not only your total personal assets but also
your potential personal risks. For example, do you operate a business in your
home and have employees and clients to your home on a regular basis? Does
your profession or location of your home make you an easy target for a big
settlement? Determine your personal risks to evaluate the amount of additional
liability coverage that makes the most sense for you.
Coverages start at $1 million, and can go as high as $10 million. When
considering the value of the umbrella policy, discuss your personal needs with
SterlingRisk.
How Much Does Coverage Cost?
Additional liability insurance is inexpensive when compared to the added
coverage you gain. Depending on the policy value and your personal risk factors,
such as recent auto tickets, your credit rating and more, a $1 million umbrella
policy typically costs about a dollar per day. Costs go up an additional $50 to $75
for each million thereafter.
