What’s your plan for when disaster strikes? If you’re like most responsible Texas residents, it will involve doing anything and everything you can to protect your loved ones and prized possessions. Naturally, this includes investing in the right insurance policies.
Now, there's a good chance you already have home and auto insurance coverage, but too often these policies prove to be insufficient by themselves. That’s why umbrella insurance exists. This is a type of general insurance that provides greater coverage than your other existing policies (like homeowners and auto).

How Does Umbrella Insurance Work?
You probably already know that your insurance policies come with liability limits. If you file a claim with damages that exceed those limits, you’ll be stuck paying out-of-pocket for the remaining balance. If you opted for bare minimum coverage on anything (as many people do, then the amount you’ll be stuck paying can be extremely costly. With a good umbrella policy in place, you don't need to worry. Your umbrella coverage can be used to cover the difference and prevent you from having to shoulder the financial complications alone.
What Does Umbrella Insurance Cover?
It's important to talk with an experienced insurance agent about your coverage needs and what your specific umbrella policy may cover. That said, general things that are often covered by Texas umbrella policies include property damage, bodily injury, personal liability and certain kinds of lawsuits.
