Insurance policies, such as auto and home insurance, are acquired to protect individuals and their families from the financial impact of certain events. However, every insurance policy has a "policy limit" – the maximum amount it will pay in claims. In most cases, the policy limit is sufficient to cover your liabilities, but in the event of unusually high liabilities, the policyholder may be responsible for paying the amount exceeding the policy limit. This is where umbrella insurance comes into play, covering those overages. If you have questions about the benefits of umbrella or other insurance, feel free to contact our team at Mid Atlantic Insurance Financial, serving Laurel, MD.
Addressing Your Potential Liabilities
While most auto accidents are minor, some result in severe injuries or even death, leading to liabilities that exceed your policy limits. In such catastrophic accidents, those liable may be responsible for the difference between the total award and the amount paid by the insurance company. This could put their savings, home, or other assets at risk. This is where umbrella insurance proves its worth.
Umbrella insurance covers the liabilities that exceed your base auto or home policy limits. Since umbrella insurance is only activated in "worst-case" scenarios, claims are relatively uncommon, making the rates quite affordable. This means you can gain an additional layer of financial protection and tranquility at a reasonable cost, ensuring your accumulated assets are not put at risk due to unlikely but catastrophic events.
