PERSONAL UMBRELLA INSURANCE


Lawsuits against individuals are common and can sometimes reach devastating levels. While your Personal Auto and Home/Condo Unit Owner/Renter policies may provide coverage to help with these costs, it doesn't take much for certain lawsuit amounts to exceed the limits of those policies. For example:

  • You cause an auto accident that permanently disables another driver.
  • Your pet dog bites a child, causing physical and psychological harm.
  • Your son or daughter is accused of cyber bullying, resulting in a defamation lawsuit.
  • You accidentally injure someone while boating or hunting.

These are just a few examples of the types of personal liability lawsuit situations that tend to result in very severe lawsuit amounts. A Personal Umbrella policy protects you in these situations by providing an extra layer of liability coverage over that provided by your other personal insurance policies. The Personal Umbrella insurance policy increases certain limits to $1 million or more, providing the extra coverage that can help secure individuals and families from severe liability costs. This affordable policy is available to customers who have both a Personal Auto policy and a Home/Condo Unit Owner/Renter policy from Umialik.

Uninsured and Underinsured Motorists coverage can also be added to a Personal Umbrella policy to provide an extra layer of protection for you and your family. If you or a resident family member were to get in an accident with a driver who is at fault but who does not have insurance (uninsured) or does not have enough insurance (underinsured) to cover your injuries, this optional coverage could provide the extra funds to help pay those damages.

Your Independent Insurance Agent can help you determine if Personal Umbrella insurance is right for you. If you don't currently have an Independent Insurance Agent, you can find an agent who works with Umialik using our Find an Agent tool.

Additional Benefits
