Case Study: Real-World Examples
Consider the following real-world examples of how umbrella insurance has protected individuals:
- A homeowner accidentally injured a guest on their property, resulting in a $500,000 lawsuit. Their umbrella insurance covered the expenses beyond their homeowners policy limit.
- A car accident caused significant property damage and bodily injuries, totaling over $1 million. The driver’s auto insurance coverage was insufficient, but their umbrella insurance stepped in to cover the remaining costs.

In 2010, a small business in the Midwest was facing a major risk. The business was located in an area that was prone to flooding. The business had never experienced flooding before, but there was a severe storm approaching that was expected to bring heavy rains.
The business owner had purchased flood insurance, but he was not sure if it would be enough to cover the costs of a flood. He decided to implement a risk management plan to reduce the impact of the flood.
The plan included the following steps:
- Moving inventory to higher ground
- Sandbagging the building
- Boarding up windows and doors
- Developing a contingency plan in case the business was flooded
The storm brought heavy rains, but the flooding was not as severe as expected. The business owner’s risk management plan helped to prevent the business from suffering any major damage.
