Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to questions you may have. Can’t find what you’re looking for? Contact us here.

What is umbrella insurance and why do I need it in North Carolina?
+
-

Umbrella insurance in North Carolina provides extra liability coverage beyond your standard auto or homeowners policies. It's crucial for North Carolina residents due to the state's diverse risks, from coastal hurricanes to mountain winter storms. This policy kicks in when your primary insurance reaches its limits, protecting your assets from lawsuits and catastrophic events unique to the region.

How much umbrella insurance coverage should I get in North Carolina?
+
-

The amount of umbrella insurance you need in North Carolina depends on your assets and risk exposure. Most policies start at $1 million, but high-net-worth individuals or those in risky professions may need more. Consider factors like owning coastal property prone to hurricane damage or having teenage drivers. North Carolina's median home value and potential lawsuit amounts should also guide your decision.

Does umbrella insurance in North Carolina cover natural disasters?
+
-

Umbrella insurance in North Carolina typically doesn't cover direct damage from natural disasters like hurricanes or floods. However, it can provide crucial liability protection related to these events. For example, if a tree on your property falls during a storm and injures someone, your umbrella policy could cover liability exceeding your homeowners insurance limits. For direct disaster coverage, consider separate policies like flood insurance.

Can umbrella insurance protect my North Carolina business?
+
-

While personal umbrella insurance doesn't typically cover business liabilities, commercial umbrella insurance is available for North Carolina businesses. This is particularly important for high-risk industries like construction or healthcare. It can protect against large liability claims that exceed your primary business insurance limits, which is crucial in North Carolina's diverse economic landscape, from tech startups in Research Triangle to coastal tourism businesses.

How does North Carolina's auto insurance law affect umbrella coverage?
+
-

North Carolina requires minimum auto liability coverage of 30/60/25, which is often insufficient for serious accidents. An umbrella policy can provide crucial additional protection. Given North Carolina's contributory negligence law, where you can be barred from recovering damages if you're even 1% at fault, having robust liability coverage through an umbrella policy is especially important to protect your assets.

Are there any North Carolina-specific factors that affect umbrella insurance rates?
+
-

Several North Carolina-specific factors can affect umbrella insurance rates. These include the state's coastal hurricane risk, mountainous terrain increasing accident risk, and the presence of large cities like Charlotte and Raleigh. Additionally, North Carolina's status as an at-fault auto insurance state and its unique contributory negligence law can impact rates. The state's growing population and increasing property values also play a role in determining umbrella insurance premiums.
