Umbrella insurance refers to a Liability insurance liability insurance policy that protects the assets and future income of the name insured in addition to his or her primary policies. It is distinguished from excess insurance in that excess coverage goes into effect only when all underlying policies are totally exhausted, while umbrella is able to drop down to fill coverage gaps in underlying policies. ref Powerine Oil Co., Inc. v. Superior Court , 37 Cal. 4th 377 2005 . ref Therefore, an umbrella policy can become the primary policy on the risk in certain situations. The term umbrella refers to how the policy shields the insured s assets more broadly than primary coverage. ref cite web url http coverhound.com insurance learning center what is umbrella insurance and do you need it title What is Umbrella Insurance, and Do You Need It? date Jan 2011 publisher CoverHound ref Typically, an umbrella policy is pure liability coverage over and above the coverage afforded by the regular policy, and is sold in increments of one million dollars. The term umbrella is used because it covers liability claims from all policies underneath it, such as vehicle insurance auto insurance and home insurance homeowners insurance policies. For example, if the insured carries an auto insurance policy with liability limits of 500,000 and a homeowners insurance policy with a limit of 300,000, then with a million dollar umbrella, the insured s limits become in effect, 1,500,000 on an auto liability claim and 1,300,000 on a homeowners liability claim. Umbrella insurance provides broad insurance beyond traditional home and auto. It provides additional liability coverage above the limits of homeowner s, auto, and boat insurance policies. It can also provide coverage for claims that may be excluded by the primary policies.

Unreferenced date December 2009 Perpetual insurance is a type of homeowners insurance policy written to have no term, or date, when the policy expires. From the effective start date, the coverage exists for perpetuity. The insured deposits money, called a deposit premium , with the insurer for insurance for the life of the risk. The deposit account deposit is many times larger than the cost of a non refundable, annual Insurance premium premium for an equivalent policy with a one year term. The insurer must earn enough income from investing the deposits to cover losses and operating expenses for the model to be economically viable. Upon cancellation, the insured is entitled to a full refund of the initial deposit premium, usually without interest. Perpetual insurance, first issued in the U.S. in Philadelphia in 1752, is still used for fire and homeowner s insurance. In the United States, there are also tax advantages to perpetual insurance. The deposit premium does not yield any income to the insured. However, the expense of the annual premium for term homeowners insurance is eliminated. Therefore, the tax adjusted, equivalent rate of return to the insured homeowner on the deposit premium can be calculated by taking the gross amount of money he or she needs to earn to net the amount of an annual premium for a term policy, divided by the amount of the deposit premium. For example, a house which costs 150,000 may typically be charged an annual premium of 1,000 for a term policy. That same house would likely require a 10,000 single deposit premium for a perpetual insurance policy of equivalent coverage.

Unreferenced date December 2009 Group insurance is an insurance that covers a group of people, usually who are the members of societies, employees of a common employer, or professionals in a common group. Group coverage can help reduce the problem of adverse selection by creating a pool of people eligible to purchase insurance who belong to the group for reasons other than for the purposes of obtaining insurance. In other words, people belong to the group not because they possess some high risk factor which makes them more apt to purchase insurance thus increasing adverse selection instead they are in the group for reasons unrelated to insurance, such as all working for a particular employer. A feature which is sometimes common in group insurance is that the premium cost on an individual basis may not be risk based. Instead it is the same amount for all the insured persons in the group.
