What is umbrella insurance and why do you need it?
Umbrella Insurance makes sure you always have options and a reliable nest to fall back on. This insurance plan provides an additional layer on top of an existing liability protection plan for when a claim exceeds the normal limit. Businesses often get umbrella insurance since professional liability can be quickly exhausted in an event of a high amount of legal fees directed toward you or your business. This insurance will secure all business assets, and it is definitely useful if you work in a field that is prone to litigation.
Examples of Liability Risks
Your employee says a damaging statement about another corporation on a social media platform
A server spills a hot dish on a patron
A company’s product causes a user to have a serious medical reaction

BOP Might also covers:
Let’s say legal fees and all costs came to $4 million, and the client had $1 million worth of commercial liability and $6 million worth of business umbrella. The company would be responsible for paying the first $1 million and the umbrella liability policy would cover the remaining $3 million dollars of the claim. An umbrella policy is beneficial in this case since you don’t have to dip into your own account to collect the funds.
