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 is it important in South Carolina?
+
-

Umbrella insurance in South Carolina provides additional liability coverage beyond standard policies. It's crucial due to South Carolina's high rate of auto accidents and natural disaster risks. This policy protects assets from lawsuits, covering legal fees and settlements. In Charleston or Myrtle Beach, it's particularly valuable for homeowners with pools or boats, given the increased liability risks in coastal areas.

How much umbrella insurance coverage do I need in South Carolina?
+
-

Coverage needs in South Carolina typically start at $1 million but can go higher. Factors include your net worth, potential risks, and lifestyle. For instance, a Columbia resident with a high-value home and multiple vehicles might need $2-3 million in coverage. South Carolina's comparative negligence law, which allows partial liability claims, makes higher coverage advisable for many residents.

Does umbrella insurance in South Carolina cover natural disaster damage?
+
-

Umbrella insurance in South Carolina doesn't directly cover natural disaster damage to your property. However, it can provide liability protection related to disasters. For example, if a tree on your Greenville property falls during a storm and injures someone, umbrella insurance could cover liability exceeding your homeowners policy limits. It's crucial to pair umbrella coverage with comprehensive property insurance in hurricane-prone coastal areas.

Can umbrella insurance protect my South Carolina business?
+
-

Yes, commercial umbrella insurance can protect South Carolina businesses. It's particularly important for high-risk industries like construction in rapidly growing areas like Charleston or manufacturing in the Upstate region. This policy can cover liability claims exceeding standard business insurance limits, such as major accidents on job sites or large-scale product liability issues.

How does South Carolina law affect umbrella insurance claims?
+
-

South Carolina's legal environment significantly impacts umbrella insurance claims. The state's 'modified comparative negligence' rule allows recovery of damages even if you're partially at fault, up to 50%. This increases the likelihood of lawsuits, making umbrella coverage more valuable. Additionally, South Carolina's three-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims means your umbrella policy could be called upon years after an incident.

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

Several South Carolina-specific factors influence umbrella insurance rates. The state's high traffic fatality rate, especially in areas like Myrtle Beach during tourist season, can increase premiums. Coastal properties in Charleston or Hilton Head may see higher rates due to hurricane risks. Additionally, South Carolina's growing population and urban development in areas like Greenville and Columbia may lead to increased liability risks, potentially affecting umbrella insurance costs.
