When this happens, you need to request an additional amount on top of this to protect your assets. That&#8217;s where umbrella insurance comes into play. It may never have occurred to you that you could get such a policy. An agent at Insurance Source Solutions of Oklahoma can assist you by discussing your needs and setting this up.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What an Umbrella Policy Should Offer<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>With an umbrella liability policy, you want something that offers broader coverage. This can be applied to your home, auto, or business insurance, among other types. This ensures that you&#8217;ll have liability protection over the amount of your basic liability policy in case you have a bodily injury or property damages claim that exceeds your limit. The umbrella policy will kick in at that point to cover the rest.<\/p>\n<p>Your umbrella policy&#8217;s coverage trigger should be the same as the underlying policy&#8217;s coverage trigger. For instance, if it&#8217;s claims-made for the basic policy, it should match the umbrella policy.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s ideal to have a policy that states it will &quot;pay on behalf&quot; rather than reimburse you at a later time. This way, the amount will be paid upfront, so you don&#8217;t have to hold up your company&#8217;s or personal funds.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s in your best interest to avoid an umbrella policy that has a self-insured retention clause since this would require you to pay out-of-pocket for each claim that&#8217;s covered by your umbrella policy that wouldn&#8217;t be covered by your primary insurance.<\/p>\n<p>Here at Insurance Source Solutions, we pride ourselves on helping our Oklahoma customers make the right choices regarding their insurance needs.
