Umbrella Insurance FAQs

Everything you need to know

  • How does umbrella insurance work with other policies?

    Umbrella insurance acts as a backup to your primary policies. If you reach the limit on your auto or homeowners insurance, the umbrella policy kicks in to cover the remaining costs—up to its own limit. It’s designed to work in tandem, not as a standalone policy.

  • Who should consider umbrella insurance in Pennsylvania?

    Anyone with significant assets, frequent travel, a teen driver, or rental properties can benefit from this extra protection. It’s especially useful for Pennsylvania families who want more coverage without drastically increasing their base policy limits. We’ll help you evaluate your risk and see if an umbrella policy makes sense for your lifestyle.

  • What doesn’t umbrella insurance cover?

    Umbrella insurance won’t cover your own injuries, damage to your property, business liabilities, or intentional harm. It also doesn’t apply unless a covered base policy (like auto or home) has been exhausted. We’ll make sure you understand exactly what is and isn’t included.

  • How much umbrella coverage do I need?

    It depends on your assets, income, and risk exposure. Many policies start at $1 million in coverage, but higher limits are available. We’ll work with you to determine what level of protection aligns with your financial picture.

  • Is umbrella insurance expensive?

    Not at all. Most Pennsylvania residents can get $1 million in coverage for a few hundred dollars per year. It’s one of the most cost-effective ways to protect yourself from devastating financial loss. We’ll show you how it fits into your overall insurance plan.
