While most people know about the value of their Massachusetts homeowners insurance and Massachusetts automobile insurance, personal umbrella insurance policies are also too important not to have.

•    Umbrella insurance policies provide added liability protection for claims that extend beyond the limits of your regular insurance policies.
o    Policy coverage varies.  Contact your local insurance agent to review your current protection and see how an umbrella insurance policy can benefit you.

•    Liability issues and lawsuits are everywhere today, and the judgments can be huge.  If someone is injured in your home or on your property, you may have extensive damages to pay out of your own pocket if you don’t have umbrella insurance.
o    This is because regular homeowners insurance policies are unable to cover all of the costs associated with lawsuits.  

•    Umbrella policies also provide additional protection for common occurrences that could happen to you, such as accidents involving autos, boats and recreational vehicles.  
o    Fill out this form for a free umbrella insurance quote.

•    They are inexpensive to purchase and are priceless to have.
o    At the cost of about $1 a day, personal umbrella policies kick in where your other     coverage stops.  Having this insurance means never worrying about not having enough coverage again.

There is a common misconception that only the wealthy need umbrella insurance, but that is not the case.  Everyone can benefit from the added protection.  In addition, an umbrella policy can “fill the gaps” by providing coverage for other incidents like liability for rental properties or being sued for slander or libel.  To further understand the necessity for umbrella insurance, read The New York Times’ article, Umbrella Coverage for Preventing Your Ruin.

In Massachusetts, all drivers are required to register their vehicles and purchase compulsory auto insurance coverage. To ensure that drivers comply with state insurance laws, drivers must turn in their license plates before canceling their auto insurance policy. And if you are transferring your Vehicle’s ownership, it is your responsibility to properly register and insure the car before driving on state roads. Leaving your license plate on the car could make you liable for the actions of another driver.

A personal umbrella policy provides additional liability protection beyond the liability limits that you now carry on your home, renters, or condo insurance and auto insurance. If you are sued and exhaust your existing liability coverage, the umbrella policy will take care of the remainder up to the limit you selected.
