Umbrella insurance can be a confusing concept, but The Slocum Agency, Inc. in Warwick, RI can make it easier to grasp. For a simplified definition, imagine yourself going out into the rain. You have already put on your rain boots, raincoat, and rain hat, but there is always the chance that rain will hit you in the few spots that are exposed. Using an umbrella will help cover those extra spots.

Umbrella insurance works the same way. Sometimes, even when you insure everything as you think you should, there is the chance that some parts are still exposed. Umbrella insurance is extra liability insurance that works in addition to your current home, auto, and even watercraft insurance. 

If, for instance, you are in an accident and are found at fault, you will be responsible for the damages. Should those damages be more than the amount of your coverage, you may find yourself losing other personal assets, such as your home or even your life savings. 

Sadly, if you have more assets than the average person, you may find yourself the target of advantageous characters and unjust court cases. While everyone with any assets can benefit from umbrella insurance, those with a lot of money and valuable assets should consider an umbrella policy. Additionally, an umbrella policy can come in handy if you have vacation homes and condos. At times, an umbrella policy will cover these additional belongings without the need for other coverage.
