Umbrella Insurance

The quiet policy that protects everything else.

An umbrella policy layers additional personal liability — typically $1M to $5M or more — on top of your home and auto. It's one of the highest-leverage decisions in a household's coverage plan.

How it works

A second liability limit stacked above your policies.

When a claim exhausts the liability limits of your underlying home or auto policy, the umbrella policy takes over. It also covers a handful of exposures — like libel, slander, and certain rental-property risks — that standard policies don't touch.

  • Auto liability (underlying)$500,000
  • Home liability (underlying)$500,000

Total available liability protection stacks. Actual limits and underlying requirements vary by carrier.

Reasons to consider it

Who typically benefits most.

  • Your home is your largest asset

    A single lawsuit above your home policy limits can put your equity at risk.

  • One serious auto accident

    Modern medical costs and vehicle values push liability claims far above state-minimum auto limits.

  • Teen drivers in the household

    Statistically the single biggest liability change most families ever add.

  • Rental property or side income

    Ownership beyond your primary residence adds exposure that basic policies weren't built for.

  • Public-facing career or profile

    Higher visibility can mean higher settlement exposure. Umbrella helps close that gap.

  • Peace of mind, priced reasonably

    $1M of umbrella coverage often costs less than a monthly streaming bundle.
