An extra layer of liability protection when standard limits may not be enough.
Umbrella insurance can help provide added liability protection above eligible underlying policies, such as home, auto, renters, condo, rental property, or other personal insurance coverage.
At Roger L. Daniel Insurance, we help clients review whether an umbrella policy may make sense based on their household, assets, property ownership, driving exposure, recreational activities, and overall liability risk.
Umbrella insurance is not only for wealthy households.
Serious liability claims can happen to ordinary families. An umbrella policy can help add another layer of protection when a claim exceeds the limits of an eligible underlying policy.
Added protection for serious liability situations.
Umbrella insurance is designed to provide additional liability coverage when covered claims exceed certain underlying policy limits.
Home Liability
May provide added protection if someone is injured on your property or claims you are responsible for property damage.
Auto Liability
Can help add another layer above eligible auto liability limits after a serious covered accident.
Rental Property Liability
May help provide additional liability protection for eligible rental or landlord exposures.
Legal Defense
May help with covered defense costs depending on policy terms, claim type, and carrier provisions.
Broader Protection
May cover certain liability situations beyond standard policy limits, subject to policy terms and exclusions.
Asset Protection
Can help protect savings, income, property, and long-term financial stability after a serious covered liability claim.
One serious claim can go beyond a standard policy.
Home, auto, renters, condo, and property policies include liability limits. Those limits may be enough for many claims, but serious injuries, major accidents, lawsuits, or high-cost damages can exceed them.
Umbrella insurance helps create an added layer above eligible underlying policies, giving you more financial protection if a covered claim becomes larger than expected.
Questions to ask before choosing an umbrella policy.
Umbrella insurance should be reviewed alongside your home, auto, property, and other eligible underlying policies.
Are your underlying limits high enough?
Umbrella policies often require certain minimum liability limits on home, auto, or other underlying policies before umbrella coverage applies.
Do you own rental or seasonal property?
Rental homes, cabins, vacant land, and seasonal properties may create added liability exposure that should be reviewed carefully.
Who drives in your household?
Teen drivers, multiple vehicles, frequent driving, business driving, or recreational vehicles may affect your liability exposure and coverage needs.
What assets are you trying to protect?
Savings, property, income, investments, and future earnings can all be part of the conversation when reviewing liability protection.

Common questions about umbrella coverage.
What is umbrella insurance?
Umbrella insurance is additional liability coverage that may apply above eligible underlying policies, such as home, auto, renters, condo, or rental property policies.
Do I need umbrella insurance if I already have home and auto insurance?
Home and auto policies include liability limits. An umbrella policy may provide added protection if a covered claim exceeds those limits.
Does umbrella insurance cover everything?
No. Umbrella policies have terms, conditions, exclusions, and underlying policy requirements. Coverage depends on the policy and the type of claim.
How much umbrella insurance should I consider?
The right amount depends on your assets, income, property ownership, drivers, lifestyle, and liability exposure. A review can help determine what may be appropriate.
Can umbrella insurance cover rental property liability?
It may, if the rental property is eligible and properly listed or connected to the umbrella policy. Rental and landlord exposures should always be reviewed carefully.
