Things To Know About Protecting Your Livelihood

If you own a home or property in Alberta you may have the need for Umbrella Insurance. For example, a homeowner, car, or Business Insurance claim could be significantly more than your policy limits. In other words, what would you do if the insurance company did not pay enough to cover the claim? Basically, you would have two choices. You could:

  • A. Pay the claim
  • B. Not pay the claim

If you cannot pay a claim you could be facing a lawsuit with major legal and financial problems.

What Is Umbrella Coverage?

The term “umbrella” means that you are buying liability insurance that covers or protects you from a wide range of potential legal issues. Most policies cover normal issues that are in excess of standard insurance policy limits. These policies typically start out at one million dollars and can be significantly more.

Who Needs Umbrella Coverage?

Many people should have Umbrella or Excess Liability Insurance but they do not have it (like Nancy and Oscar). Here are some of the people that should consider this kind of liability protection:

  • Property owners
  • Luxury home owners
  • People with significant assets
  • Business owners
  • Sole proprietors
  • Professional people
  • Corporate officers
  • Landlords

Anyone that has assets or property that they want to protect should think about this kind of coverage.

What Does A Standard Umbrella Insurance Policy Cover?

There are many different situations that Umbrella policies may be good for. For example:

  • Legal fees
  • False arrest charges
  • Slander
  • Libel
  • Car accidents – above the normal limit
  • Homeowner claims – above the normal limit
  • World wide coverage
  • Professional liability
  • Malpractice – it may cover amounts that exceed a malpractice policy limits
  • Lawsuits
  • Property damage
  • Dog bites

What Will Umbrella Liability Insurance NOT Pay For?

Umbrella policies will not pay for everything. Here are some of the things that may not be covered:

  • Flood insurance – you will probably need a special flood insurance policy.
  • Uninsured or underinsured motorists – this is not usually covered, because your umbrella policy generally covers your actions and liabilities.
  • Fraud or illegal activities

Are There Additional Options To Consider?

The main consideration with Umbrella or Excess Liability Insurance is the limits. For example, one million dollars may be sufficient for some people while others may need more. Also, if you rent an apartment, condo, or house, umbrella coverage may increase your renters insurance to cover things like car rentals. This is a good idea for frequent fliers.
