What assets does umbrella insurance protect in Georgia?

Umbrella insurance protects everything you have worked to build: your savings, your home equity, your investments, and even your future income. In Georgia, it acts as a financial safety net that kicks in when a large liability claim exceeds the limits of your home or auto policy.

Here is what an umbrella insurance policy helps shield:

• Your savings and bank accounts from being drained to pay a judgment.
• Your home and its equity, which a court could otherwise force you to tap.
• Investment and retirement accounts that you have built over years.
• Future wages, since a judgment can lead to wage garnishment.

Without an umbrella, a serious lawsuit can reach beyond your insurance limits and into your personal assets. The umbrella adds an extra $1 million or more of liability coverage above your auto insurance and homeowners limits, and it even covers some claims your base policies exclude, like libel or slander.

For example, if you cause a multi-car crash near Atlanta and the injury judgment reaches $1.2 million while your auto policy caps at $500,000, you could personally owe $700,000. A $1 million umbrella would absorb that gap, protecting your home and savings.
