Real-World Case Study: The Risk of Teen Driving

Emily, a 17-year-old, decided to treat her best friend, Taylor, to a movie to celebrate finishing their finals. They were running late and didn't want to miss the show, so Emily sped down the highway.
She lost control going around a notorious turn and crashed into a car with a family who were heading to a pizza dinner.

Sadly, Taylor passed away at the hospital months later because of serious complications. The family suffered a loss of wages, emotional distress and lengthy hospitalizations — and one child had a permanent disability and needed ongoing physical therapy.
Emily's parents' standalone personal umbrella policy covered the exorbitant medical bills of all the victims.

How to protect your family from financial ruin 

1.   A standalone personal umbrella policy adds a critical layer of protection for liability loss exposure
2.   You don't need to be a millionaire to be sued like one. You could be liable for any injuries resulting from an at-fault, covered auto claim.
3.   All licensed drivers in the household or regular-use operators must be listed on all policies, including youthful/inexperienced operators.
