Personal Liability Umbrella

Lawsuits are common today. More and more, juries are awarding very large verdicts. If you accidentally injure someone or damage their property, you could be sued. Your homeowners, property and auto policies may provide substantial liability limits, but juries can award damages that exceed those limits.

Farmers Personal Liability Umbrella provides coverage in increments of $1 million. It supplements your present policies to provide additional personal liability protection.

The Umbrella policy goes into affect after the underlying liability limits on your homeowners or auto policy is exhausted. Therefore, your policy must have certain limits in order to qualify for an Umbrella policy.

Typically, these are the policy limits that either your auto or homeowners policy needs to have. Please check with your local Farmers agent if you have any questions.

Auto Insurance Liability Limits:

• $250,000 bodily injury per person 
• $500,000 bodily injury per occurrence
• $50,000 property damage per occurrence   
  

Homeowners Insurance Liability Limits: $300,000
