Umbrella Coverage: Liability Insurance Definition and Information
Definitions & Info
Umbrella coverage is an extra layer of Personal Liability Protection above what your Automobile or Homeowner Liability limits cover.
The Protection Provided:
- Offers up to $1,000,000 additional coverage beyond personal liability insurance that you ordinarily carry;
- Protects you and your family by making payments of judgment against you resulting from personal activities;
- Covers Automobile and Watercrafts worldwide; and,
- Legal defense costs, in addition to indemnity, are covered in many areas where there is no underlying coverage.
Who needs it?
As long as you earn a livelihood, you should have an Umbrella policy. Contact your agent to find out how surprisingly affordable this added protection can be. You'll understand why you can't afford to be without it. We, at NYCM Insurance, feel that Umbrella coverage is a valuable asset which provides completed protection for all of our insureds.
