Personal Umbrella Insurance NJ

The Facts about New Jersey Personal Umbrella Insurance

There’s no question that America is quite litigious, and fighting a lawsuit is expensive, so it’s essential to have an umbrella policy that provides additional coverage, above and beyond your current homeowners and auto insurance policies, in the event that you are sued or are held responsible for an accident that costs more than your other policies will pay out in damages.

Let’s say a visitor to your home trips on a crack in the driveway. He falls, breaks his arm and is off of work for two months while undergoing physical therapy. If the total costs amount to $20,000 but your homeowner’s insurance policy has a limit of $10,000 per accident, then you’re responsible for paying the extra $10,000. Not many people have that much money sitting in an emergency fund, so it’s necessary to liquidate some of your personal assets such as investments, retirement savings, property and valuables. However, if you have an umbrella liability policy in place, that will step in and pay the $10,000 difference for you.
