Umbrella Insurance: Protect Yourself From Big Claims

January 12, 2010

Umbrella Insurance: Protect yourself from big claims

Every day attorneys are penetrating our market with liability lawsuits.

Why not add umbrella coverage on top of your auto insurance and home insurance? Here is a perfect example that I have seen recently of why you should supplement your existing liability coverage:

The parents of a teenager gave him a car for his 17th birthday. The parents had an auto policy with a $500,000 per claim liability limit and an Umbrella policy with a one million dollar liability limit. One day, their son crossed over a median and collided head on with another vehicle. Two passengers in the other car were killed, and a third was seriously injured. The 17 year old driver was found negligent and ordered to pay $1.5 million to settle the injury claims.

Fortunately, the parents carried an Umbrella policy. The auto policy paid $500,000, and the Umbrella paid out the 1 million. A personal Umbrella policy offers additional coverage once the limits under your primary policy are used up. Your assets as well as your future earnings are protected.

In a world of frivolous lawsuits having an Umbrella Policy in place just plain makes sense… or cents.

IMPORTANT MORTGAGE DISCLOSURES:

When inquiring about a mortgage on this site, this is not a mortgage application. Upon the completion of your inquiry, we will work hard to match you with a lender who may assist you with a mortgage application and provide mortgage product eligibility requirements for your individual situation.

Any mortgage product that a lender may offer you will carry fees or costs including closing costs, origination points, and/or refinancing fees. In many instances, fees or costs can amount to several thousand dollars and can be due upon the origination of the mortgage credit product.

When applying for a mortgage credit product, lenders will commonly require you to provide a valid social security number and submit to a credit check . Consumers who do not have the minimum acceptable credit required by the lender are unlikely to be approved for mortgage refinancing.

Minimum credit ratings may vary according to lender and mortgage product. In the event that you do not qualify for a credit rating based on the required minimum credit rating, a lender may or may not introduce you to a credit counseling service or credit improvement company who may or may not be able to assist you with improving your credit for a fee.
