How far will your current protection really go to protect you?

Say you're at fault in an auto accident that causes serious injuries to the driver or passengers in the car you hit. Your auto insurance has liability limits of $100,000 per person and $300,000 per accident. Which are pretty common limits, for a Texas auto insurance policy.

How far do you think $100,000 will go, particularly if the person or persons involved suffer injuries that keep he/she/them from working for months, even years? The accident victims could sue you for their medical bills, lost income, even pain and suffering. In this scenario, $100,000 is not nearly enough coverage.

What happens if you are hit with a judgment in the case of $250,000 for one person involved in the accident? Your auto liability insurance will cover the first $100,000 and you are stuck with paying the rest. And that doesn't even include the legal fees you have to pay to your attorney.

In addition, in some cases, you might have to pay all or part of the legal fees for the other party as well.

Umbrella insurance provides coverage for these rainy days. While it may seem unnecessary, it really isnt. Particularly for people with homes and other significant assets to protect.

Do you really want to hand over your house to someone you injure in an auto accident? It could happen, but it doesn't have to!
