One serious accident can exceed your home and auto liability limits. Umbrella insurance can add another layer of protection for Kansas households.
Looking for umbrella insurance in Kansas? An umbrella policy adds liability coverage above your home and auto policies. A Blue Peak advisor can help you choose a limit and line up your underlying coverage.
Kansas households with teen drivers, rental properties, or growing savings often have more liability exposure than they realize.
An umbrella policy adds liability protection that sits above your other personal policies.
Once your home or auto liability limit is used up on a covered claim, an umbrella policy can help pay the remaining amount, up to its own limit.
Some umbrella policies cover certain claims your other policies do not, such as some defamation claims. Coverage depends on the policy wording.
Most insurers require you to carry minimum liability limits on your auto and home insurance in Kansas before they will write an umbrella.
Umbrella policies have limits and exclusions. Business activities, for example, usually need separate commercial coverage.
A licensed Blue Peak advisor can review your options and help you request a quote.
Here is how an umbrella fits with the coverage Kansas households already carry.
Kansas requires auto liability of at least 25/50/25. A serious crash can exceed that quickly, and most umbrella insurers require higher underlying limits.
Adding a young driver can raise your liability risk. An umbrella can add protection above your auto policy for covered claims.
If you own rental homes, review how they fit with your umbrella. Farm or business activities usually need separate coverage.
