RLI Personal Umbrella Policies Help Your Clients Protect Their Assets

Life can change in an instant. A personal umbrella insurance policy (PUP) helps protect your clients against the unexpected events that can wreak havoc on their family, finances, and their future. What is Personal Umbrella Insurance? Personal umbrella protection is a low-cost insurance policy that picks up where the liability coverage included in a personal auto and homeowners policies leaves off.

Offering clients a PUP is not only a great opportunity to provide them with more complete coverage, but it can also protect you and your agency from E&O liability.
