Personal Umbrella Insurance
Protection Beyond Your Policy Limits

At Membassy Insurance, we don’t just ask what coverage you have.

We ask whether it actually protects you when it matters.

Standard policies have limits.

Umbrella insurance exists for what happens when those limits are exceeded.

What Is Personal Umbrella Insurance?

A Personal Umbrella policy (PUP) is a specific policy designed for individual and household liability protection. It extends over existing personal auto and home policies without gracing additional business activity coverage. The additional liability coverage is above your existing:

  • Auto insurance
  • Homeowners insurance
  • Renters or landlord policies

When a claim exceeds those limits, umbrella coverage helps cover the remaining balance.

What Does Personal Umbrella Insurance Cover?

Bodily Injury Liability

Covers injuries to others where you are legally responsible.

Example:

A serious auto accident results in damages beyond your policy limits.

Property Damage Liability

Covers damage to someone else’s property.

Example:

An accident causes multi-vehicle damage or structural property loss.

Personal Liability Incidents

Coverage may extend to situations like:

  • Dog bites
  • Injuries on your property
  • Recreational accidents

Legal Defense Costs

Helps cover:

  • Attorney fees
  • Court costs
  • Settlements or judgments

Even when claims escalate quickly.

What Personal Umbrella Insurance Does NOT Cover

  • Your own injuries or property damage
  • Business-related activities
  • Intentional acts
  • Professional liability

Who Should Consider Personal Umbrella Coverage?

  • Homeowners
  • Individuals with savings or assets to protect
  • Households with multiple drivers
  • Property owners or landlords
  • Anyone with future income worth protecting

How Much Coverage Do You Need?

We evaluate:

  • Total assets
  • Existing liability limits
  • Exposure based on lifestyle

Then structure coverage to match real risk, not assumptions.

Real Scenario

A homeowner has $500,000 in liability coverage.

A lawsuit results in $1.2 million in damages.

Without umbrella:

$700,000 becomes personal responsibility.

With umbrella coverage:

The excess is covered.
