Umbrella insurance is not just for high-net-worth individuals. Many everyday situations can increase liability exposure.
Asset Protection:
Homes, savings, investments, and future income may be at risk in large liability claims.
Higher Liability Exposure:
Frequent driving, hosting guests, owning rental property, or recreational activities can increase exposure.
Inadequate Underlying Limits:
Standard policy limits may not be sufficient in serious injury cases.
