Extra protection with umbrella insurance

A personal umbrella policy adds an extra layer of liability coverage above your homeowners insurance and auto insurance. Tate Insurance Group helps families choose higher limits that can protect savings, income, and future plans if a serious claim exceeds your underlying policies.


How an umbrella policy works

An umbrella kicks in after underlying limits are exhausted. If an at-fault auto accident or a guest injury at your home surpasses your primary liability coverage, the umbrella can extend protection by one to five million. We confirm the required underlying limits and coordinate all policies with one renewal schedule.


Who should consider umbrella coverage

Homeowners, landlords, pool owners, boaters, and parents of teen drivers often benefit from higher limits. People with growing assets or a high public profile may want extra protection as well. If you run a company, ask about a commercial solution under business insurance since personal umbrellas generally exclude business activities.
