When it comes to Insurance are you covered? I mean, "really" covered? If you do not have an Umbrella Liability policy--the answer is NO! Your home insurance will cover you in the event someone injures themselves in/on your home and your car will protect you for those you may injure in an accident that is your fault, but that may not be enough. Umbrella insurance protects you above and beyond the limits of your home & car policy. It is very inexpensive. Let me review your policies, explain how it works for you, and let's discuss exactly where YOU stand. Don't risk losing your home by being improperly covered. Call Dan Korvas of Dankor Insurance Agency at (847) 368-9400.
