What type of coverage do umbrella policies provide?

• A. Excess coverage over the primary policy
• B. Primary coverage for first-dollar losses
• C. Coverage only for property damage
• D. Coverage for life insurance

Answer: (A)

Umbrella coverage sits above your primary liability policies and provides excess protection. It pays after the limits of your underlying policies (like auto or homeowners) have been reached, giving you a higher overall liability limit. It may also fill in some gaps where underlying policies don’t fully cover a claim, up to the umbrella limit. It does not replace your primary coverage, isn’t limited to property damage, and isn’t life insurance.
