What Risks Are Covered By Umbrella Insurance?

Hyman Brown Insurance Agency, Inc. in Commerce, GA offers insurance policies that protect its clients from the loss of their assets. Liability insurance protects the insured against third-party insurance claims such as automobile accidents. The payments are typically paid to individuals who are suffering from an injury or personal property damage. Damages related to a breach of contract or caused intentionally are not covered under liability insurance.

An insurance claim should be filed if a significant incident takes place. The insurance carrier must defend the insured from any insurance claim or lawsuit seeking damages. The policy limits generally are not affected by the cost of the defense. However, it may turn out that the cost of the defense is higher than the insurance policy allows, especially if the claim is caused by significant damage or high medical bills.

If an injury results in a $500,000 claim and the bodily limit is $300,000, the insured will face $200,000 of personal liability above the limits of the insurance policy. An umbrella policy would cover the amount over the limits of your liability insurance policy.

An umbrella insurance policy includes extra liability insurance. The plan will protect the insured from significant insurance claims including the amount of a lawsuit if the insured is found liable. The umbrella policy will automatically be put in force once the limits of the liability policy are exceeded, which will help avoid the liquidation of such assets as bank accounts, investments, garnished wages, and tax returns. An umbrella policy can also cover those excluded perils of your general liability policy such as false arrests, liability coverage on your rental units, libel, and slander.

Hyman Brown Insurance Agency, Inc. in Commerce, GA will provide you with an umbrella policy that fits your lifestyle. Please call for more information and a quote!
