Umbrella Insurance for California

What is Umbrella Insurance?

A personal umbrella insurance policy can provides added liability protection without a large added cost. Additional liability insurance is often inexpensive, especially when compared to the added coverage one gains. Most liability protection plans only cover bodily injury and property damage to others. Umbrella policies will extend those coverages to, not only provide additional coverage for bodily injury and property damage, but also to cover things that are not listed under regular liability allowances.

What does Umbrella Insurance cover?

Every policy is different, so what is considered a covered loss under one insurance policy may not be covered under another. Umbrella Insurance kicks in when certain situations present themselves and/or when you exceed the amount of liability coverage allowed under your regular insurance policies. Liability insurance is the portion of a homeowners insurance or auto insurance policy that pays expenses to an injured person for medical bills, rehabilitative therapy, and lost wages due to the negligence of the at-fault party. The liability portion of an insurance policy also covers legal defense representation. After adding up all of the medical expenses for the injured and the legal fees of the negligent person, the standard liability in one’s homeowners or auto insurance policy is often not enough. Almost every state has financial responsibility laws that will hold drivers accountable for bodily injury and property damage resulting from car accidents and the negligent driver could be sued for damages. Personal assets could also be seized as a result of a lawsuit. Similar laws are also in effect for home and watercraft owners.
