Considerations for Local Businesses in Texas

Texas liability laws can significantly impact umbrella insurance needs. The state follows a modified comparative fault rule, potentially increasing liability exposure. In 2022, Texas saw a 15% increase in personal injury lawsuits, with average settlements exceeding $500,000. The oil and gas industry faced $1.2 billion in liability claims, highlighting the need for robust coverage. Texas's population grew by 4% since 2020, with suburban areas seeing a 30% increase in liability claims. Coastal regions face heightened risks, with hurricane-related liability claims averaging $750,000 per event. The state's tort reform laws cap certain damages, but umbrella policies remain crucial for comprehensive protection. High-net-worth individuals in Texas have seen a 25% increase in personal liability suits since 2019.

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 Texas?
+
-

Umbrella insurance in Texas provides additional liability coverage beyond standard policies. It's crucial in Texas due to the state's high litigation rates and potential for large lawsuits. This policy kicks in when primary insurance limits are exhausted, protecting assets in cases of severe accidents, property damage, or lawsuits. In Texas, where personal injury claims can be substantial, umbrella insurance offers an extra layer of financial security.

How much umbrella insurance coverage do Texans typically need?
+
-

The amount of umbrella coverage needed in Texas varies, but many start with $1 million. Factors like net worth, risk exposure, and lifestyle influence this decision. For instance, a high-net-worth individual in Houston might need $5 million or more, while a middle-class family in Austin might be adequately covered with $1-2 million. Texas's unique risks, such as frequent severe weather events and high-value properties, often necessitate higher coverage limits.

Does umbrella insurance in Texas cover business-related liabilities?
+
-

Standard personal umbrella policies in Texas typically don't cover business liabilities. However, commercial umbrella insurance is available for Texas businesses. This covers liabilities exceeding general liability or other primary business insurance limits. It's particularly important for Texas industries with high-risk exposures, such as oil and gas, construction, or healthcare. Some insurers offer endorsements to personal umbrellas for home-based businesses, but coverage is limited.

How does Texas law impact umbrella insurance claims and coverage?
+
-

Texas law significantly influences umbrella insurance. The state's 'modified comparative fault' rule can affect claim payouts, potentially reducing compensation if the insured is partially at fault. Texas's two-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims also applies to umbrella coverage. Additionally, Texas's robust consumer protection laws ensure fair claim handling practices by insurers. Understanding these legal nuances is crucial for Texas policyholders to maximize their umbrella coverage benefits.

Can umbrella insurance in Texas protect against libel and slander claims?
+
-

Yes, umbrella insurance in Texas typically covers personal injury claims, including libel and slander. This is particularly relevant in today's digital age, where Texans are increasingly exposed to social media-related risks. For instance, if a Houston resident is sued for defamation due to an online post, their umbrella policy could provide coverage beyond their homeowners or renters insurance limits. This protection is especially valuable in Texas, where freedom of speech cases can be complex and costly.

How does umbrella insurance interact with auto insurance in Texas?
+
-

In Texas, umbrella insurance works in conjunction with auto insurance, providing additional liability coverage beyond the auto policy limits. This is particularly important given Texas's minimum auto liability requirements of 30/60/25, which may be insufficient in serious accidents. For example, if a Dallas driver causes a multi-car pileup with injuries exceeding their auto policy limits, the umbrella policy would cover the excess liability, potentially saving the insured from financial ruin.
