How does umbrella insurance work? What does it cover?

Umbrella insurance provides additional protection for your assets. It serves as excess liability insurance, extending beyond the limits of your home, auto, or other liability policies.

If you are held responsible for damages or face a significant liability claim, umbrella insurance steps in to provide coverage beyond what your primary policies offer. It acts as a safeguard to protect your assets from potential financial burdens resulting from lawsuits or substantial claims.

Bear River Mutual provides umbrella policy limits of $1,000,000 and $2,000,000.

Example:

Let’s say you are involved in an automobile accident and are sued for $1,000,000 in damages. If your auto policy has a liability limit of $500,000, your umbrella policy would then come into play to cover the remaining $500,000.

Umbrella insurance acts as an additional layer of protection, filling the gap between the limits of your primary policies and the total amount of damages or claims you may face. It provides coverage for various liability situations, such as bodily injury, property damage, defamation, and more.

An umbrella policy can create peace of mind knowing that you have extra coverage to help safeguard your assets and protect you from potentially significant financial burdens resulting from lawsuits or serious claims.
