Umbrella Insurance
You have homeowners insurance to protect your home and auto insurance to cover your car. And while these policies provide coverage in the event of loss or accident, some limits can be extended with an umbrella policy. If you own a boat, umbrella insurance will also cover losses that exceed the limits of your craft’s liability insurance. If you have rental property, it will provide additional liability coverage. Umbrella insurance even covers liability claims, like libel and slander. In general, if the value of your assets is more than your insurance liability limits, umbrella insurance is a good investment.
Suppose you’re in a serious auto accident or there’s a serious accident on your property. In that case, umbrella insurance can protect your wages, home, investments, cars, and boats. This can spare you from hundreds of thousands — even millions — in legal fees, personal liability, and property damage claims. Texell Insurance can save the day with umbrella insurance.
