Having an auto and a home insurance policy is important for protecting your assets. However, they may not be giving you the financial protection that you need. These policies are often low on liability coverage, and this can put you at financial risk if your insurance can’t pay for all of the medical bills that result from a serious accident. That’s where umbrella insurance can come in and keep you from having to pay thousands, or more, in medical expenses. Call us at Swartz Premier Group Insurance in Moberly, MO today if you need umbrella insurance.
What Is Umbrella Insurance?
Extra Liability Coverage
If you already have a home and auto policy, you have some protection against liability in each of them. Many of these policies come with low liability coverage, and this can cause you to have to pay all of the leftover medical bills when the auto or home policy maxes out. With umbrella insurance, you get a new layer of liability coverage laid over the coverage you get from those other two policies. The maximum payouts of umbrella policies are very high, allowing for a deep layer of coverage against even serious accidents.
Paying After an Accident
When an accident occurs, your auto or home policy will assess the situation and pay the resulting medical bills- up to its limit. Then, the umbrella insurance comes in and tackles the bills that are left over after that limit. And with its much-higher limit, the umbrella policy will usually be able to pay for all of the rest of the bills. This keeps you from having the risk of a serious accident that you can’t pay for.
