Personal Umbrella Insurance for Added Liability Protection


Add Protection Above Your Home and Auto Policies

Your home and auto insurance policies include liability coverage, but those limits can be exhausted faster than expected in a serious accident or lawsuit. Personal umbrella insurance provides an additional layer of liability protection that sits above your existing policies, helping protect savings, property, and future income. For households in Monsey and across Rockland County—especially those with higher-value homes, teen drivers, rental properties, or multiple exposures—this added layer can make a meaningful difference. Understanding how umbrella policies work, including required underlying limits, is key to making the right decision. Lichters Insurance Agency helps you review your full coverage stack and determine whether an umbrella policy fits your situation.


What Personal Umbrella Insurance Can Include

Excess Liability Coverage

Provides additional liability limits above your home, auto, or rental property policies. This helps cover large claims that exceed standard policy limits.

Umbrella Over Home and Auto

Coverage for Larger Claims

Multi-Exposure Household Protection

Households with multiple drivers, properties, or higher liability exposure often benefit from umbrella coverage. We assess your situation to determine appropriate limits.
