Do I Need Umbrella Insurance?

​If your net worth surpasses the utmost liability coverage you can find from standard insurance policies, you'll need an umbrella policy. It is to help you guard your assets if you're ever in a situation that might result in a destructive financial impact.

Accidents are sometimes inevitable, and you may need umbrella insurance if you aim for your finances and assets to be fully secured.

What Is The Real Purpose Of Umbrella Insurance?
The real purpose of umbrella insurance is to work as a secondary layer of liability protection on top of your vehicle liability insurance coverage and other personal liability coverage. It helps guard your assets against liability claims if you exceed your liability limits. Below here are five examples of how umbrella insurance works to protect your assets:
​

1. Injury While On Your Property
   Injuries on your property or while renting would exceed your liability limit. Umbrella Insurance helps. It protects liability costs to their limit.
   
   
2. International Incidents
   Company-specific umbrella insurance. Some cover overseas incidents. Some insurers don’t provide international coverage.
   
   
3. Vehicle Accident
   Your liability insurance may not cover all of the costs associated with an accident. Up to the policy maximum, extra liability costs are covered by umbrella insurance.
   
   
4. Dog Bites
   Insurance companies can cover dog bites differently. If your dog bites someone, legal or medical costs may exceed your liability coverage, but umbrella insurance can help.
   
   
5. Lawsuit
   Suppose a person or business has filed a personal injury lawsuit against you, like slander, libel, defamation, or bodily injury, and you're found guilty. In that case, umbrella insurance can help you with that.
   
   But it still depends on the insurance company and its policy. It can cover associated legal costs and other things that you owe. 

Conclusion
Even the most vigilant individual with the best intentions might receive a large judgment from a personal liability lawsuit. It might not sound like fun finding yourself in this scenario, but it’s still wise to guard yourself against such a destructive financial loss.

One thing for sure is umbrella insurance has a lot of benefits that are beyond your imagination.
