It helps extend the amount of coverage you have beyond what a basic policy offers. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\">In some situations, a person filing a claim against you may do so with the expectation of going to court. Or you may have to defend yourself in reaching a settlement. In these situations, your umbrella insurance may offer additional protection for you. This includes paying for the attorneys who will represent you in these situations. Your policy may include coverage for the lawyer as well as legal defense costs in situations where you do go to trial. This extra layer of protection minimizes the risk that you could face costly fees when someone files a claim against you.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\">Finding the Coverage Best Suited for Your Needs&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\">At Runnels Insurance, we aim to help you gain protection from all risks you have.
