There's a good answer below.
Just like the "good" fire station down the street.
Or even just like a "good" attorney.
A "good" insurance agent is worth their weight in gold. The challenge is finding a "good" one.
Case in point, our business was ready to pay out of pocket for a bogus lawsuit that we were a named defendant, along with several other businesses in our building. I consulted a colleague, who is a local insurance agent. He pointed me to an obscure clause in our business policy that covered the costs of our counsel to defend us. 2-3 years later, the case is still going, and we have not paid the defense attorneys a penny. All covered by our business policy that we never thought would have covered such an incident.
Aside from that, they could have gotten flagged by the tax authorities for not paying the proper taxes. A friend of mine often says: "The cheapest way to go is first class."
But back to
@Mr_Twister , if your life is not complicated as you have indicated, an umbrella policy may be overkill for you and a waste of money.
