Umbrella Insurance in Utah
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 Utah
Utah is a no-fault state and uses an unusual 30/65/25 liability structure. The Wasatch Front sits on an active fault system, and earthquake coverage — excluded from homeowners policies — is materially under-purchased relative to the exposure. Wildfire appetite in the canyon and bench communities has tightened.
