Affordable Personal Umbrella Insurance for East Texas

Protect Your Future with Extra Liability Coverage

Life is unpredictable, but your financial security doesn’t have to be. Personal umbrella insurance provides an additional layer of protection beyond your existing home, auto, or boat policies, ensuring you’re covered when the unexpected happens.

At Bosworth & Associates, we help East Texas residents safeguard their assets and financial well-being with affordable umbrella insurance in Texas. Let’s explore how this policy works and why it might be right for you.

What Is Personal Umbrella Insurance?

A personal umbrella insurance policy provides extra liability coverage beyond the limits of your standard auto, homeowners, or boat insurance. Think of it as a financial safety net, kicking in when your existing policies reach their limits.

 

Whether you’re involved in a serious car accident, someone is injured on your property, or your teen causes damage, a personal umbrella policy helps protect your savings, home, future income, and more.

 

Why East Texas Residents Need Umbrella Insurance Protection

Living in East Texas means embracing the outdoors – swimming pools, ATVs, boating, and backyard gatherings are part of life. But with all that fun comes increased liability risks. Civil suits and injury claims are rising nationwide, and East Texans are not immune.

 

  • A personal umbrella insurance policy gives peace of mind to:
  • Families with children or teen drivers
  • Homeowners with swimming pools or acreage
  • Landlords and property investors
  • Professionals with significant assets or public visibility

 

At Bosworth & Associates, we understand the unique risks of life in East Texas and how to protect against them.

What’s NOT Covered by Umbrella Insurance?

While umbrella insurance provides broad protection, it doesn’t cover:

  • Your own injuries or property damage.
  • Business-related liability (consider a business umbrella policy).
  • Criminal or intentional acts.
  • Situations specifically excluded in your policy.

Need help understanding your policy exclusions? Bosworth & Associates will walk you through them.

How Much Umbrella Coverage Do You Need?

Your ideal coverage amount depends on your assets, lifestyle, and risk tolerance. A simple way to estimate is to total:

  • The value of your home and other real estate
  • Savings, retirement funds, and investments
  • Future income you could lose in a lawsuit

Common Coverage Levels:

$1 Million: Great for most families and homeowners

$2–3 Million: Best for those with rental properties, teen drivers, or recreational equipment

$5 Million+: Ideal for high-net-worth individuals with complex risk

Remember: Your umbrella policy stacks on top of your current coverage, building a stronger safety net.

Still unsure? That’s what we’re here for.

Additional Considerations: If you have substantial assets or liability exposure, you need more coverage. Consider more than $1 million if:

  • You own multiple properties or rental units
  • You have a pool, trampoline, or acreage
  • You host frequent gatherings
  • You have teen drivers or high-risk drivers in the household
  • You own recreational vehicles like boats or ATVs
  • You’re a landlord, public figure, or high-net-worth individual

Bosworth & Associates can help you choose the right limit for your life.

How Much Does a Personal Umbrella Insurance Policy Cost?

 

You might be surprised by how affordable umbrella insurance in Texas can be. Policies often start at a few hundred dollars a year. Costs vary based on:

 

  • The number of vehicles, boats, or properties you own
  • Rental properties you manage
  • Your driving history or family makeup (teen drivers, for example)
  • The level of coverage you choose
