umbrella liability insurance
Special coverage for especially large monetary damages a person or other entity is obligated to pay another party. This insurance derives its name from its coverage of awards that exceed regular liability protection included in homeowner's insurance, automobile insurance, and business insurance. For example, a homeowner's policy might include $100,000 of liability coverage while umbrella liability insurance will often have a limit of $1 million or more.
