True Umbrella Coverage

Why The Need For A True Umbrella Policy?

Problem: Primary homeowners and business policies have exclusions. New exclusions continue to be added:

• Animals
• Diving boards, pools, trampolines
• Recreation vehicles and
  watercraft
• High value items and collections
• Self-Defense
• Firearms*
• Business operations and vehicles
• And more

Umbrella policies require that primary coverage is in place. Most policies have GAPS and GRAY areas that Prime True Umbrella can cover.

*This policy may not be offered in every state depending on applicable state and local laws.

Solution: Prime True Umbrella identifies these GAPS and GRAY areas in Home, Work and Play Activities and fills the gaps and exclusions with customized True Umbrella coverage for individuals and businesses.

In other words, Prime can help you write the business liability coverage you have difficulty placing. We offer a True Umbrella when others offer cookie-cutter policies. We tailor solutions for specific risks and fill the coverage gaps that exist in personal and commercial policies.

Don’t Settle for “Good Enough” Coverage

Enhance protection with Prime True Umbrella!

How complete is their coverage?

Insurance is an essential protective measure, but policies (homeowners, auto, business, etc.) don’t always provide all the insurance protection your clients need to safeguard their assets from some incidents, accidents or lawsuits.

Some claims don’t fall within the limitations of a policy, exceed the maximum policy limit, or are considered an exclusion – What happens then?

What happens when a claim isn’t covered by a policy?

When a claim isn’t covered by a policy, or exceeds policy limits, the insured is liable to pay for any uncovered costs from their own pocket.

Some liability claims can exceed policy limits and run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars.

What Makes the Prime True Umbrella Different?

Our true umbrella is different as we want to help the insured use the market to their advantage. If they have or can get good inexpensive terms, we urge them to do so and we write the gaps, exclusions, limitations as needed. The Prime True Umbrella schedules activities and operations and perils, where other carriers do not schedule much other than what the umbrella is over.

Highlights

Here’s a brief overview of our umbrella liability coverage:

• Maintain current homeowners/auto insurer
• New drivers accepted – no age limits on drivers
• Issues with DUIs can still be covered
• Coverage available for uninsured and underinsured motorists
• Adverse claims history
• Celebrities, politicians, sports figures, high-net-worth individuals, and high-end coastal residents
• Coverage for emerging risks

Standard Umbrella Policy vs. True Umbrella

A standard umbrella policy is useful for extending coverage limits to address some extraneous circumstances. But even though Umbrella policies are a useful addition to standard policies, they can still fail to address key areas where you need coverage…

… Adding a True Umbrella solution to existing coverage can help you address possible gaps and exclusions. True Umbrella provides the flexibility to schedule coverage for specific risks that may not be covered by other policies.

Why True Umbrella?

Enhancing Coverage: True Umbrella is designed to address weaknesses in existing coverage. Custom-made to fit your client’s unique needs, it can provide protection that other policies can’t or won’t cover.

Flexible Coverage: Standard policies often won’t cover the unique areas that matter the most. A True Umbrella policy is custom-built to address your client’s specific needs.

More Coverage In One Place: Prime’s “all-in-one” approach allows coverage of more needs in one policy, and manage more of your coverage in one place.

Why Prime Insurance Company?

Prime Insurance Company provides solutions that can’t be found anywhere else. Some carriers may not be able to provide the coverage the insured needs, and that’s where Prime steps in to fill that gap. We don’t compete with the policyholder’s current carriers, but we are here to provide them with coverage when they can’t find it anywhere else.

When other insurance partners say no, we can often say yes.

Umbrella Coverage Backed by Excellent Service

Another factor that separates us from the other umbrella insurance providers is our sincere commitment to service. Prime has:

• Flexible underwriting: Our in-house underwriting team can develop innovative coverage solutions that often provide applicants with multiple coverage options that they might not find anywhere else.

• A partnership approach: When you work with us, you’ll partner with an insurance entity that will work closely with you during the underwriting process and beyond. We offer a personal connection that many of our competitors can’t deliver.
