Personal umbrella insurance Palm Beach Gardens acts as an extra layer of liability protection beyond your standard homeowners or auto insurance. If you face a significant liability claim that exceeds the limits of your primary policies, your umbrella policy kicks in to cover the additional costs. For example, if a guest slips and falls on your property and files a lawsuit for medical expenses and damages exceeding your homeowners' liability limit, your umbrella policy will cover the difference—protecting your savings and assets.
