Umbrella Coverage

Insurance Term


Umbrella coverage is a type of insurance policy that provides additional liability coverage above and beyond what is offered by a standard insurance policy. It is also referred to as excess liability insurance. It can provide protection for an individual or business against lawsuits or claims that exceed the limits on their other policies, such as auto or home insurance.

For example, say an individual is involved in a car accident where they are at fault and cause significant damage to the other driver's vehicle and also cause bodily injury. The individual's auto insurance policy has a liability limit of $250,000 for bodily injury and $100,000 for property damage. However, the total cost of damages and medical expenses associated with the accident comes out to be $500,000. In such a scenario, the umbrella insurance policy will provide coverage up to the limit of the policy, which typically ranges from $1 million to $10 million, depending on the coverage limit chosen.

In the insurance industry, umbrella coverage is commonly used to protect individuals and businesses from catastrophic events that could result in costly lawsuits or claims that exceed the limits of their primary insurance policies. It is particularly useful for those who are involved in high-risk activities like outdoor adventure sports or those who have significant assets to protect, like wealthy individuals or business owners.

Overall, umbrella coverage provides an additional layer of protection against unforeseen events and provides policyholders with peace of mind knowing that they are well protected in the event of a lawsuit or a large insurance claim.
