Umbrella Coverage
Think for a short moment on everything you’ve worked so hard
to accomplish for yourself and your family…your home, automobiles,
college savings, retirement… You may have adequate Homeowner’s,
Auto and Life insurance.
However, WHAT IF the unexpected disaster happens?!
Honest, hard working and well intentioned good people are becoming
more and more subject to lawsuits…we have become a “sue
happy” nation! As a result, unfortunately, NO ONE is exempt
from large liability losses or lawsuits. It can happen to any of
us.
If it does, Farmers can help you get back where you belong.
With a personal umbrella, you have additional coverage once the
limits under your primary policy are used up. Therefore, your assets
as well as your future earnings are protected.
For example:
The parents of a young teenager gave him a car for his 17th birthday.
The parents had an Auto policy with a $500,000 per claim liability
limit. One day, the teenage driver crossed over a median and collided
head-on with another vehicle. Two passengers in the other car were
killed , and a 3rd was seriously injured. The 17-year-old driver
was found negligent and ordered to pay $1.4 million to settle the
injury claims. Fortunately, the parents carried an UMBRELLA! The
auto policy paid $500,000, and the Umbrella paid the remaining $900,000.
Additional Features!
You are covered against claims that may not be covered by your
Homeowner’s, Automobile policies, such as libel, slander
or defamation of character.
You are covered anywhere in the world!
You are covered for defense costs and attorney fees associated
with claims against you that are covered by your Personal Umbrella
policy, but not by your primary Homeowner’s and Automobile
policies. These expenses are paid in addition to your policy limit.
