How Does Umbrella Insurance Work?

Also known as excess liability insurance, an umbrella insurance policy will pay money owed in the event you are sued for damages that may surpass the limits of liability of your existing homeowners, condo, renters, boat, or auto policy. This type of policy can even cover slander and libel. Here are three reasons this policy should be considered from Premier Insurance Agency in Detroit, MI. 

THREE REASONS YOU NEED UMBRELLA INSURANCE

• You may be sued due to an automobile accident — An umbrella liability policy will provide additional coverage that will go into effect after the limitations of your existing insurance policy have been exceeded in the event you are found liable. 
• Your family pet causes an injury to a visitor or neighbor — While the vast majority of dog owners can claim their pets are well behaved, unfortunately, there are times when a pet can surprise their owners by acting out and potentially injuring a visitor or neighbor which may result in hefty medical bills or even being sued.
• Your current policy does not cover bodily injury — According to the National Safety Council, approximately 4.57 million people suffered serious injuries resulting from automobile accidents in 2017, which resulted in costs totaling $413.8 billion. In the event, you are found to be negligent, or at fault for causing damage or personal injury, an umbrella insurance policy can provide the sufficient coverage that will assist with paying costs associated with this type of liability. 

What is Not Covered?

Liabilities relating to business, criminal behavior, contractual agreements, and recreational vehicles are just a few of the scenarios not covered by an umbrella policy. Contact an agent at the Premier Insurance Agency in Detroit, MI today to discuss adding an umbrella insurance policy. 

For those that have a condo, condo insurance is a great way to protect your investment and make sure that if something does happen, there is a way to get it repaired and to start over essentially.

For those that live in the Detroit, MI area, the agents with Premier Insurance Agency can help you to determine what coverage you need and just what your coverage is going to protect.

For the most part, condo insurance does cover the basics that a home policy would cover. Things like fire, break in and other damages are almost always covered as are basic storm damages. This does not mean things like hurricane damage or flooding damage, but basic damage from things like wind, thunderstorms, hail storms and even winter storms are almost always covered. These types of coverages are to make sure that your condo is going to be in tip-top shape even if storms come through.

These policies often cover basic storm damage as would a typical home policy but they may cover it in a lesser capacity and with a more restricted list of storm damages that you can claim. For the most part, if you are renting, you do not have to worry about this type of coverage or this type of repairs as this will fall to the owner of the condo to maintain. For those that live in the Detroit, MI area, the agents with Premier Insurance Agency can help you find the coverage that is going to protect you from all the pertinent storm damages that you may experience in your condo no matter what so you can always feel safe and covered.

State Requirements

Michigan – like all other states in the U.S.A. – requires that you carry a specific minimum of insurance to drive a vehicle legally. Both bodily injury coverage that protects against physical injury and property damage coverage that protects the vehicles themselves is required in the state of Michigan.

Additional Coverage

All drivers can benefit from having additional levels of coverage. This is even more true for classic car owners. These cars can be much more difficult to repair in the event of damage or loss.

Owners of classic cars should consider additional collision coverage beyond what is required. Collision coverage provides a monetary reimbursement to cover the cost of damage incurred to your precious collectible in an accident. While there may be a deductible for which you are responsible, it pales in comparison to cost without coverage.

Also, you may want to get comprehensive coverage. This protects against loss or damage incurred due to things such as fire, vandalism, and/or theft.
