Personal Umbrella Insurance in Indiana
Extra liability protection from an Indianapolis Allstate agency—with statewide support
If a claim goes beyond your home or auto limits, your savings, future income, and assets could be at risk. A personal umbrella policy adds higher liability limits on top of your existing coverage, often at a cost that surprises people—in a good way. AOG Group | Allstate combines friendly, local service with straightforward advice so you know exactly how your umbrella stacks and when it applies.

What a personal umbrella helps protect
- Bodily injury liability: Serious injuries from an at-fault auto crash or incidents at your residence premises.
- Property damage liability: Damage you’re legally responsible for to others’ property.
- Personal injury (varies by policy): Certain claims like libel/slander/defamation—ask how your policy treats these.

- Worldwide protection: Often follows you when you travel (we’ll confirm details for your policy).
Availability, definitions, and limits vary. We’ll explain exactly what your umbrella includes.
How an umbrella policy works
- Stacks on top: Adds additional liability limits above your underlying policies (auto, home, renters/condo, landlord, boat, etc.).
- Sold in $1M increments: Common options start at $1 million and can go higher (subject to underwriting).
- Underlying requirements: Your base policies must carry certain minimum liability limits. We’ll verify and adjust if needed.
- One policy, many exposures: Extends to covered household drivers and eligible properties/vehicles you schedule per underwriting rules.
Who typically benefits
- Families with teen/young adult drivers
- Homeowners with a pool, trampoline, or frequent guests
- Owners of rental properties or vacation homes
- Professionals with savings, investments, or future income to protect
- Boat/ATV enthusiasts (with eligible underlying policies)
- Active on social media or community leadership (ask about personal injury coverage)
Real-world scenarios an umbrella can address
- Multi-vehicle crash: Medical bills and lost wages exceed your auto limits—umbrella adds more protection.
- Guest injury at home: A fall leads to surgery and a lawsuit—umbrella helps above your homeowners liability.
- Dog bite or backyard mishap: High medical costs and pain-and-suffering claim—umbrella can help.
- Rental property slip-and-fall: Landlord claim surpasses the dwelling policy’s liability limit—umbrella may respond.
- Alleged online defamation: Certain personal injury claims may be considered (policy-specific; we’ll review together).
What an umbrella typically doesn’t cover
- Your own injuries or your property (those fall under health/home/auto first-party coverages)
- Business or professional liability (separate policies usually required)
- Intentional acts or criminal activity
- Contractual liability beyond policy terms
- Unlisted/underinsured exposures (e.g., vehicles, watercraft, or rentals not meeting underlying requirements)
How much umbrella coverage do I need?
We’ll look at:
- Net worth + future income (what you want to protect)
- Household risk profile (drivers, teen drivers, hobbies, pets, hosting)
- Property/vehicle mix (homes, rentals, boats, recreational vehicles)
- Underlying policy limits (to ensure compliance and avoid gaps)
Then we’ll show side-by-side options—commonly $1M, $2M, $3M+—so you can choose comfort and cost that feel right.
Ways to keep costs smart (subject to qualification)
- Bundle and align your home/auto/landlord/boat with the umbrella
- Maintain clean driving records for all listed household drivers
- Use risk controls at home (fencing, pool safety, guest safety basics)
- Review deductibles/limits on underlying policies for an optimal structure
Our simple process
- Conversation & risk map: Quick inventory of drivers, homes, rentals, vehicles, and activities.
- Coverage design: Confirm underlying limits; recommend umbrella limits in $1M increments.
- Bind & coordinate: Issue the umbrella and align underlying policies/IDs—clean and complete.
- Annual review: Update for new drivers, toys, or properties so coverage keeps pace.
