An umbrella insurance policy works a little differently from most. It is used to add to other insurance policies that you already have in place. If you are interested in getting this type of coverage, contact us at Cary-Wheeler & Associates, Inc. in Richmond, VA to talk with an agent about these policies.
Your Liability Coverage
There are several types of insurance policies that come with some liability coverage. However, that coverage often doesn’t go very far if there is a serious incident you are liable for. That’s where umbrella insurance comes in. An umbrella insurance policy adds to the liability coverage that you have with both your auto policy and your home policy. The way it works is that the first insurance policy, whether it is auto or home insurance, covers an accident first and pays up to its maximum coverage. Once it has reached that amount, the umbrella policy is activated and pays the overage up to its maximum.
Cost-Effective Insurance
One of the reasons that so many people get umbrella policies is that it’s a way to add to your existing insurance without paying the hefty price tag of boosting each insurance type on its own. If you were to go to your insurance agent and want more liability coverage for your auto and home insurance policies, it could be costly. Umbrella coverage, however, is highly affordable.
More Liability
If you want to have more liability coverage than you currently do, but you don’t want to pay an exorbitant amount for it, consider an umbrella policy.
