umbrella coverage

All-encompassing insurance policy

Umbrella coverage is supplemental insurance that kicks in when primary policies reach their limits.

It provides additional liability protection beyond what homeowner's, auto, or other base policies cover: We added umbrella coverage after buying the lake house.

The metaphor suggests broad protection spanning multiple underlying policies, sheltering assets from large claims or lawsuits.
