15 Everyday Activities That Suggest You Need an Umbrella Policy
If you carry auto or homeowners insurance, you may be asking yourself, “Do I really need an umbrella policy, too?”

An umbrella policy kicks in where your homeowners and auto policies leave off – providing you with extra protection and peace of mind, should the unexpected happen and a claim or lawsuit be filed against you.
Most of us participate in activities every day that put us at risk. Here are some real-life activities that signal you should carry an umbrella.
