Liability insurance is something that protects you from legal actions against you. Suing is at epidemic proportions and the chances that you will be sued at least once in your lifetime are very good. Very good is the wrong way to express this since getting sued is anything but good. Manteca Insurance & Financial Services in Central Valley, CA is committed to providing personalized customer service and a lot of choices.
Umbrella insurance is excess liability coverage. It can be added to any policy that you already have with liability coverage. Many policies have liability coverage including auto, home, condo, renters, boat, RV, and motorcycle to name just a few. You can’t just buy umbrella insurance unless you already have a policy with liability coverage.
Many people think that you need to be wealthy to benefit from an umbrella policy. Nothing can be farther from the truth. No one is immune from having a civil suit filed against them. About 10% of homeowners are sued yearly, and you have about one in three chances of being sued in your lifetime.
Civil suits can be very expensive to fight legally and the size of judgments has been growing. Depending on the amount of liability coverage you have on your primary policy, you could be sued for more than your maximum. That is where the umbrella comes into effect. After the initial amount is maxed out, the umbrella will continue to cover up to the limit of the umbrella. It protects your assets from being attached to pay for a suit against you. It could make all the difference when it comes to protecting what you have worked so hard to accumulate.
