Umbrella Insurance in New Hampshire
Liability coverage that sits above your auto and home limits. Usually the cheapest million dollars of protection a household can buy.
What is different in New Hampshire
New Hampshire is the one state that does not compel most drivers to carry auto liability insurance — but an uninsured at-fault driver is personally exposed and must then prove financial responsibility. Any policy that is issued must include uninsured motorist coverage at liability limits. Ice damming and frozen pipes dominate winter property claims.
