Valuable Collections Insurance

Exceptional Coverage for Exceptional Items

 

While our home policy includes coverage for your valuables, many people choose to insure their most precious possessions with the added protection of a valuables policy, which offers broader coverage on a worldwide basis

​

Policy Benefits

​

• No deductible. If you lose an engagement ring or break a precious antique, the loss is covered from the first dollar.

• Agreed value coverage. We settle covered losses at least at the scheduled amount of the item.

• Single item or blanket coverage. You have the option to schedule individual items or choose blanket coverage for groups of valuables such as a jewelry, crystal, or art collections.

• “All risk” coverage. Your valuable possessions will be protected against loss due to flooding, which is excluded in a homeowner policy.

• Worldwide coverage. Don’t worry about taking your precious jewelry or professional-grade camera abroad.

 

Umbrella Liability Insurance

 

As your wealth increases, so does your attractiveness as a target for lawsuits. Settlements for serious injury or property damage can exceed the liability limits of your home or auto policies. You could lose your home, property, savings and investments - even your future income. Umbrella coverage offers critical protection in these cases. It offers the following benefits:

​

• High limit availability. You can acquire from $1 million up to $10 million of additional liability protection for bodily and personal injury.

• Fills coverage gaps. Our umbrella policy will pay from the first dollar of loss if a coverage gap exists in the home or auto policy.

• Legal defense. Once the resources of your underlying coverage are exhausted, we will coordinate and pay for your legal defense without reducing your liability limit.

• Private consultation. We provide coverage for the cost of having your lawyer monitor our legal defense efforts.

• Reputation defense. We provide coverage for the cost of having a public relations firm protect your reputation.

• Court costs. In addition to the settlement to an insured party, you will be covered for potentially substantial court costs and fees associated with the defense of your case.
