Many business owners understand the benefits that commercial or business insurance provides. For most, handling many day-to-day operations, as well as unexpected incidents, could cause many businesses to go under. However, as with any insurance policy, there are limits to how far and how much a business insurance policy will cover. Some businesses may be more vulnerable if they have operations that carry more risk. However, there may be other reasons why umbrella insurance is important. Our team at Toney Insurance Services is committed to helping Snellville, GA business owners understand umbrella insurance and the benefits it provides.
What is umbrella insurance?
Umbrella insurance is secondary or backup insurance. In other words, if you have a lawsuit or some other unexpected or serious event taking place that exceeds the limits of your primary business insurance, your umbrella insurance policy will cover whatever your primary policy doesn’t cover. Interestingly, in some situations, umbrella insurance can also work as a primary insurance policy if your primary insurance doesn’t cover something.
Will umbrella insurance cover things that my business insurance doesn’t cover?
Yes. If your primary insurance doesn’t cover something, it’s likely that your umbrella insurance will cover it as long as it meets the terms of your insurance policy. However, it is possible that your umbrella insurance policy and your primary insurance policy won’t cover an event or situation. This is why it’s a good idea to become very familiar with the terms of any insurance policy to ensure that you get the coverage you need. Speaking with an insurance agent and discussing your business needs as well as your business vulnerabilities and possible vulnerabilities makes it easier to get the coverage you need to fit your unique situation.
