Auto and homeowners liability limits don’t always stretch far enough when a serious claim lands. A personal umbrella adds another layer of liability capacity over those underlying policies (and sometimes other exposures), when carriers offer it for your situation.
What it often does
- Adds liability limits above auto and home (policy-specific)
- May help with certain personal liability lawsuits after underlying limits are used
- Is often discussed with young drivers, pools, rentals, or higher net-worth households
