Personal Umbrella Insurance for Mesa Verde National Park Households
Add $1M–$10M of liability protection above your auto and home/condo/renters policies. We set the right underlying limits for Colorado, coordinate with your outdoor recreation or property needs.
Why Mesa Verde National Park Residents Choose Umbrella Coverage
Rugged terrain, outdoor activities, hiking trails, and potential for accidents in a national park area increase the chance of large liability claims. If a judgment exceeds the limits on your auto or homeowners policy, an umbrella helps protect savings, home equity, and future income.
We’ll sync your base policies with carrier requirements, then add an umbrella limit that fits your household, drivers, and properties.
Colorado Context: Underlying Policies & Outdoor Rules
Auto Policy: Minimum Limits
Colorado requires minimum auto liability of $25k/$50k for bodily injury and $15k for property damage, but umbrella carriers often want higher limits like $250k/$500k. We’ll ensure your policy meets these to qualify.
Home/Condo/Renters Liability
Most umbrellas require at least $300k personal liability on your homeowners/condo/renters policy. We’ll also look at recreational vehicles, ATVs, and outdoor exposures that may need scheduled underlying coverage.
Landlords & Business Owners
Colorado law requires owners of rental properties to carry liability insurance. Your personal umbrella generally excludes business pursuits; landlords may need a landlord or commercial umbrella to sit over those policies.
Mesa Verde Area Considerations
In areas near Mesa Verde, properties may involve outdoor risks; we’ll coordinate certificates of insurance for lenders or associations as needed.
Tip: Keep records for driver training, security systems, and any pet training—these can help with underwriting.
