Umbrella Insurance 101 - Personal Umbrella

Buy an umbrella policy and reduce your bodily injury liability coverage to the barest minimum stipulated by law. The more substantial your asset, they more this recommendation is true in your case.

What do you buy bodily injury liability coverage for? It’s to take care of passengers involved in an accident along with the other driver. If you don’t have coverage like this, your assets could be used to compensate victims in accidents.

But what happens if you or a family member (such as a teen driver) is involved in an auto crash that injures others? Do you have high bodiliy injury limits under your auto insurance policy? What if the other person is disabled or killed? If you calculate a person’s worth on that basis, I bet 99% of insurance buying consumers have too little protection under their auto policy.

But if you have an umbrella policy, you’re almost certain that it can handle the most extreme case. Furthermore, you not only save on auto insurance but you also have coverage that takes care of every other kind of liability issue that may arise in your life.

Price-wise, you get much more coverage per premium dollar with an umbrella policy…

If a 35-year old man who lives in New York City wants to raise his bodily injury to $100K/$300K from $25K/$50K, his rate will increase by $300! However, with an umbrella policy, he’ll spend less than that to get $1 million worth of coverage.

And if he chooses to raise the coverage amount of his umbrella policy to $2 million dollars, he’ll only have to pay only $75 more. After the $2 million mark, he’ll only need to add $50 to his rate per $1 million extra coverage amount. If you want more for less then an umbrella policy will do you more good.

Keep in mind though that the coverage cannot cover anything. For example, businesses are not covered; they are covered under a business insurance policy. Moreover, if your accident or unfortunate coincidence was intentional, your policy will not cover you (it’s against the law to do so anyway).

Contact your insurance agent to discuss an insurance plan. It could save your financial life or at least give you that extra cushion – just in case.
