Personal Umbrella Insurance
Personal Umbrella Insurance in New Jersey
An encouraging study by the American Insurance Association (AIA) in 2013 showed that over 87% of household owners have liability insurance coverage. This kind of coverage is provided by either your auto insurance provider or as part of your home policy to protect your assets.
While this is encouraging, further research by National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors® (NAIFA) among other bodies shows this type of coverage falls short where the total insurance coverage is not sufficient. In such a situation your family home, vehicle and other valuables will be at risk which can be devastating.
Personal Umbrella Insurance Through D’Agostino Agency Insurance As A Protector
This is where personal umbrella insurance comes in handy. To appreciate fully why the reason a personal umbrella policy (PUP) is so important, it is imperative to understand what it entails. In the simplest definition by the Group Underwriters Association of America (GUAA), this is a policy that provides more liability coverage than what your auto and home coverage currently cover.
New Jersey Personal Umbrella Insurance Coverage
Personal Umbrella Insurance provides coverage above and beyond your automobile and homeowner policy to offset any damages that are above the limit on these policies. In essence, it kicks into action right where all your other liability coverage limits leave off.
However, that’s not all, your auto and home policies might not have specific coverages for unique damages such as libel and slander. PUP comes in handy to offer the needed extra coverage.
To drive the point home, consider a situation where you have a liability coverage limit of $200,000. This might appear like a fool-proof policy but what if the damages come to $350,000? Your assets including your New Jersey home would be at stake but with our Personal Umbrella Insurance, this situation will not arise because you have extra coverage.
