Umbrella insurance

An extra layer of protection when life takes an unexpected turn.

Learn when umbrella insurance may provide additional liability protection.

How umbrella coverage works

Umbrella policies generally require underlying limits on your home and auto policies, then extend liability protection above them.

  • Excess Liability

    Additional limits above your home, auto and other qualifying policies.

  • Legal Defense

    Defense costs associated with covered liability claims.

  • Rental Property

    Liability arising from properties you own and rent out.

  • Recreational Vehicles

    Boats and other vehicles when properly scheduled.

  • Personal Injury

    Certain claims such as libel or slander, depending on the policy.

  • Household Members

    Coverage often extends to family members in your household.
