How does umbrella insurance coverage work?
An umbrella policy is meant to cover large-scale claims that are likely to go over the limits set in your commercial insurance policy or business auto policy.
For example, someone falls at your business and injures themselves very badly. If your commercial policy has liability coverage at $1,000,000 and the person ends up suing for $1,500,000 for medical bills, loss of income, and pain and suffering, an umbrella policy would be needed to fully protect your business. Having an umbrella policy in this situation could offer coverage for the $500,000 difference that the commercial policy would not have paid due to the case exhausting your policy limits.
What should your umbrella policy cover?
Every business is different, so it can be difficult for policyholders to design comprehensive coverage plans alone. That’s why our staff works hard to identify policy terms that respond to your needs.
Like regular policies, umbrella insurance coverage varies widely. It’s important to choose terms that protect you from the kinds of risks that you could encounter. Your coverage needs to account for not only the limits of your existing policy but also the nature of your assets and the potential damages that you might be held responsible for.

What does an umbrella policy cover?
In short, a commercial umbrella policy provides additional liability protection on an existing commercial insurance policy. It is an inexpensive way to add large amounts of coverage to your current policies.
Do I need an umbrella policy?
Anyone who may have assets to protect or who would be unable to pay for a large lawsuit should think about getting an umbrella policy. Due to the relatively inexpensive coverage cost, an umbrella policy offers great coverage for a cheap price.
If your business works with people in the public, it is a good idea to get the extra coverage. Bodily injury from one mistake or accident can reach above $1 million dollars in liability risk. It’s a dangerous game to play with your business if you don’t have umbrella insurance.
While your business insurance is powerful and will protect you, coverage limits still apply. Umbrella liability insurance (when paired with your current policy), allows you to breathe easy. Your umbrella policy will kick in and continue to protect your business after your commercial policy limits have been reached.
