After a long week at work John was excited for a weekend with his family. He jumped in his truck and was heading home when he received a phone call. He looked down at his phone and literally in the split second he ran a red light and slammed into another car in front of him. His whole life flashed before his eyes and as a result he seriously injured the driver of the car.
Come to find out this person is a surgeon and his hand was severely damaged in the accident. John was found at fault for the
accident, sued and ordered to pay $1 million for the lost wages, medical expenses and pain and suffering of the injured driver.
John had auto insurance and he had a policy
limit of $300,000. John would be responsible for the other $700,000 out of his own pocket.
WITHOUT a personal liability umbrella policy:
Johns wages could be garnished, his retirement, college funds or they could come after his other assets to collect this debt.
WITH a personal liability umbrella policy:
John has an extra form of protection over him. Once his auto policy pays the policy amount of $300,000 his umbrella policy will then kick in and cover the remaining $700,000.
