Umbrella

Umbrella Insurance in Michigan

An umbrella insurance policy is an extra layer of protection that extends beyond the liability limits of your other insurance policies, such as home, auto, and boat insurance. This type of policy can help protect you and your assets in case you are sued for damages that exceed the coverage limits of your underlying policies.

For example, if you are in a car accident and the other driver is injured, their medical bills and lost wages may exceed the limits of your auto insurance policy. Without umbrella coverage, you could be personally responsible for paying the remaining amount out of your own pocket. However, with an umbrella policy, you can have additional coverage to help protect your finances and assets in case of a catastrophic event.
