Does Personal Umbrella Insurance Protect You in Lawsuits?

Personal umbrella insurance provides a comprehensive layer of additional protection for those it covers. For many people, this is essential. If you are facing risks related to liability, it is always wise to have some type of coverage to minimize the financial costs related to lawsuits. Today, lawsuits are more common than ever and the amount awarded in such lawsuits, as well as in related settlements, can be financially draining for most people. With the help of personal umbrella insurance, you may reduce some of the costs dramatically.

What Does Personal Umbrella Insurance Cover? 

At the heart of these policies is protection from lawsuits and claims made against you. These policies, whether they are for personal or professional use, can help to protect from several key things. 

Protecting Against Settlements 
If you are being sued for personal injury, a dog bite or another type of negligence, and it is likely that you would be held responsible, your insurance may help cover the settlement. For example, if you have a personal umbrella insurance policy that provides coverage for someone being injured on your property, you may settle the case without having to go to court. Those settlement fees are often covered in this coverage. 

Defending Your Rights 
Your umbrella insurance also helps cover your legal defense. Whether you are found to be negligent or not, you may have to defend yourself in a court of law. This in itself can be expensive. However, with personal umbrella insurance, your legal defense can be covered in your policy. 

Protecting Against Awards 
If you do go to court and are found to be negligent, the costs can be very high. These lawsuits may include actual losses, as well as pain and suffering claims. With the help of your umbrella insurance, the costs are generally paid out under this policy, up to the amount of coverage it provides. 

In situations where you are facing a lawsuit, which can happen to anyone, having personal umbrella insurance can be very valuable. It’s important not to overlook the value of these policies, the amount of coverage they can offer and just how affordable they are for what they provide.
