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.

Your dog bites a stranger. While your dog may be well socialized, umbrella coverage provides peace of mind in the unlikely instance he injures a stranger.
-
You are at fault in an auto accident. You’re driving on a rainy day, and your car hydroplanes, causing a collision. The other car is a luxury vehicle with $50k in damage. Your policy limit is $30k. Your umbrella policy will cover the shortfall.
-
Your spouse or child is sued. Imagine this: In a cloud of anger after getting a bad grade, your child posts false information about a teacher online. The teacher sues you and wins. Your umbrella policy has you covered!
