Personal Umbrella Insurance
Southern Fidelity’s Personal Umbrella policy helps protect our insureds’ assets from major claims and lawsuits
by providing extra liability insurance above the limits of their primary homeowners, auto, and boat insurance policies.
When policy limits on the underlying home or auto policies are not enough to indemnify an injured party, a policyholder’s
retirement funds, investments, and savings could be at risk. The Personal Umbrella policy is there to provide added protection
to an insured’s personal assets in the event that an insured’s underlying policy limits become exhausted.
