You've heard of umbrella insurance but have no idea what it is.
Without it, you could face a lawsuit that exceeds the limits of your primary insurance policy, leaving you to pay the difference out of pocket. That could mean losing your home, your savings, or even your future income.
A lawsuit can threaten your financial security
You may think you have enough insurance coverage to protect you from any legal liability. But what if you’re sued for more than your policy limit? You could be held personally responsible for the excess amount, which could be millions of dollars.
This could wipe out your assets, your income, and your future plans. You don’t want to risk losing everything you’ve worked for because of a lawsuit.
That’s why you need Umbrella Insurance. It provides an extra layer of protection over your primary insurance policy, covering the difference between the lawsuit amount and your policy limit. It gives you peace of mind and financial security for a worst-case scenario.

How Much is Umbrella Insurance?
Many CNY residents have one question when considering umbrella insurance: how much it costs. Umbrella insurance is liability coverage that protects you from lawsuits and claims that exceed your primary policy limits.
A $1,000,000 umbrella liability policy should range between $10 – $23 per month or $120 – $276 per year. What specific factors affect your price?

FAQ
Common Questions and Answers About Your Umbrella Insurance Policy Options
How much coverage is typical for an umbrella policy?
Umbrella policies start with $1,000,000 in coverage. For most individuals, $1 million in coverage is sufficient protection. If you have assets that exceed this amount, you should consider raising your coverage. Umbrella insurance is sold in one-million-dollar increments, with many companies offering as much as $5,000,000.
Am I more likely to be sued because I have an umbrella policy?
No. You’re more likely to be sued if you have assets. This one falls squarely in the land of myths.
How much does umbrella insurance cost?
The cost depends on the number of underlying liability policies the umbrella covers. An average starting point for someone with one home and two cars and nothing further is about $150 per year for $1,000,000 in coverage.
