Personal Umbrella Coverage: Make It Apart Of Your Financial Plan

Blog Post by President, CPCU, CIC, CRM -Douglas MacDonald

Picture this. Your daughters are playing with the neighbors’ children on your backyard swing set. The neighbor’s child happens to fall off the slide and severely injures themselves. After a trip to the hospital, your neighbor decides to sue you for the cost of their medical bills and potential medical complications. Considering this happened on your property, you could be found liable. Who is to say the lawsuit does not exceed your existing liability coverage?

Personal Umbrella Insurance can provide additional financial protection if your underlying liability limits are exhausted during a claim. You can easily purchase up to $10 Million of coverage. This can help pay any outstanding judgements resulting from the medical costs, pain/suffering, property damage, and slander. Don’t let a financial liability threaten everything you have worked so hard to build.
