Why Consider an Umbrella Policy?

Life can be unpredictable-a single accident or lawsuit could put your savings, your home, or even future earnings at risk. Standard auto and home insurance limits (often $300,000 or $500,000) may not be enough if you're faced with a catastrophic claim or major lawsuit. Personal umbrella insurance gives you an extra layer of liability protection, starting at $1 million, so one incident doesn't derail your finances or peace of mind.

How Does Umbrella Insurance Work?

If a claim exhausts your regular auto or home liability limits, umbrella coverage kicks in-often adding $1 million or more on top. It's called an "umbrella" because it protects across several policies: auto, home, rental property, and even some situations not covered elsewhere, like libel or slander. Example: If you're at fault in a multi-car pileup on the 210 freeway and medical bills exceed your auto policy, your umbrella covers the rest, protecting your home and future income.

Affordable Security, Big Benefits

Umbrella insurance is surprisingly cost-effective-many policies start under $20/month for $1 million in coverage. That's high-value security, especially for those with assets, savings, or a family to protect. Shaver Insurance quickly quotes umbrella coverage and recommends it for homeowners, landlords, high-net-worth individuals, or anyone with a teenage driver in the family.

Who Needs a Personal Umbrella Policy?

  • Homeowners and landlords: Protect equity and rental investments.

  • Anyone with significant assets or savings: Guard against lawsuits or large judgments.

  • Families with teen drivers: Auto claims can skyrocket fast.

  • Business owners: Extra protection for personal liability exposures.

  • Anyone concerned about the "what-ifs": Medical bills, jury awards, or severe incidents.
