How auto liability coverage works
Auto liability coverage helps protect you financially if you cause an accident. It can help pay for other people's bodily injuries or property damage, as well as your legal fees if you're sued.
By law, most states require you to have at least a minimum amount of liability coverage.
How an umbrella policy works
Umbrella insurance can help when a claim is more than the liability limits of your homeowners, auto or renters insurance.
If a claim against you is more than what your policy can cover, an umbrella policy could help pay the rest.
Why is liability coverage so important?
It helps protect you financially if you're responsible for someone else's injuries or property damage.
The right coverage can help you avoid paying large out-of-pocket costs if something goes wrong.
