Umbrella Insurance in North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia
Umbrella insurance is additional liability coverage that protects the people and property listed on the policy over and above other policies that may be in place like auto & homeowner's insurance. It is typical to get $1million or $2million in additional coverage, but it is imperative that you carry the limits necessary to protect all of your assets!
Purchasing umbrella insurance from a reputable and compliant insurance company in North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia can give extra protection if you are sued for the assets you own, savings, investment, and future wages from garnishment. In case someone is injured on your premise, and their medical bill supersedes the liability limits of your homeowner's policy, your umbrella policy will come in and settle the remaining outstanding balance. This form of policy covers you, your spouse, and all family members residing in your household anywhere in the world.

- Personal injuries (the cost of injuries to other people, including lost wages & legal expenses)
