Umbrella Insurance

from Bilz Insurance

Umbrella Insurance

If you have a homeowner policy, it probably provides liability protection, but that coverage is capped at a certain amount. An incident that exceeds that cap would have to be paid out of your own pocket, but a personal umbrella policy can offer extra liability protection, often up to a million dollars or more.

It’s tempting to think you won’t need this kind of liability coverage, but just one slip-and-fall accident on your property or a dog bite could cost you hundreds of thousands in court-awarded damages. Without an umbrella policy, a lawsuit could bankrupt you, which happens to people every day in Kentucky.

People who appreciate the added protection of a personal umbrella policy include:

  • Homeowners
  • People with large properties
  • High-net-worth individuals
  • Large dog owners
  • Parents of young children

An umbrella policy not only covers your property and your pets; it can be applied anywhere you travel around the world, for you and other members of your household. It will even cover legal defense fees related to liability lawsuits.

Commercial Umbrella Policies for Businesses

You can also get umbrella insurance as a business owner to supplement your general liability insurance. Commercial umbrella insurance works just like personal policies do, taking over once your other liability coverage has been exceeded. Instead of losing your assets to pay when someone sues you, your business umbrella policy can be utilized.
