What is umbrella insurance?

Umbrella insurance is a form of liability insurance that covers your costs in case you get sued. Reasons for getting sued that you can claim on umbrella insurance usually include that you’ve caused physical harm to a person or their property, but this can also be mental damage, damage done to someone’s pet, or damage done by your pet.

Types of liabilities

We listed some possible scenarios you could need umbrella insurance for.

• Imagine you’re out walking your dog and your dog attacks a person and causes them harm.
• Another option could be that you’re a journalist and have interviewed someone who presses charges against you on the grounds of mental harm. 

Many more options are possible, such as car accidents in which another person or property gets hurt or if you’re arrested wrongfully.
