Stop
for a moment to reflect on everything you’ve worked hard for in your
life -your home, your car, your family’s security. You may even have a
recreational vehicle or a boat for family getaways. And, if you’re
reading this, you probably have adequate Auto, Home and Life insurance
coverage.
So chances are, you’ll never
have to worry about exposure to large liability losses. But what if . .
. ? In today’s society, no one is exempt from large liability losses.
Let’s face it: people are growing more willing to sue every day. The
bottom line is: It can happen to you. If it does, Farmers can help you
get back where you belong. Even if you don’t maintain all of your
current liability insurance with Farmers,*
we have a
coverage that’s perfect for you:
Supplement your existing coverage
The parents of a teenager gave
him a car for his seventeenth birthday. The parents had an auto policy
with a $500,000 per claim liability limit. One day, the teenage driver
crossed over a median and collided head-on with another vehicle. Two
passengers in the other car were killed, and a third was seriously
injured. The 17-year old driver is found negligent and ordered to pay
$1.5 million to settle the injury claims. Fortunately, the parents
carried an umbrella. The auto policy paid $500,000, and the umbrella
paid the remaining $1 million.
With a personal umbrella
policy, you have additional coverage once the limits under your primary
policy are used up.*
Your assets as well as your future
earnings are protected.
*subject to policy
limits and exclusions.
The Farmers Personal Umbrella
Added
features
Besides providing
increased liability limits, a personal umbrella policy gives you these
additionalbenefits: You are protected against claims that may not be
covered by your underlying policies for homeowner’s, auto liability and
watercraft liability, such as:
●
libel, slander or defamation of
character.
●
You are covered anywhere in the
world.
●
You are covered for defense costs
and attorney fees associated with claims against you that are
covered by your personal umbrella policy, but not by your primary
policies. These expenses are paid in addition to your policy limit.

provided by standard underlying policies. The orange column shows you

non-commercial liability insurance. (Please note: You must have the
minimum underlying liability coverage shown before purchasing additional
Umbrella coverage.)
The
self-insured retention shown in the last column is the $250 ($1,000 in

Umbrella Liability would kick in to cover a loss not covered by any
other liability policy (subject to exclusions).
