There’s no disputing that accidents happen. And while having primary insurance is certainly a must-have to safeguard against losses, there may be more you need to consider. Every day large financial judgments are awarded in accident cases. What would you do if a legal judgment against you was greater than your primary insurance limits? This type of judgment could involve attachments to assets such as your home, car or boat. It could even involve your paychecks, savings and investments, including stocks, bonds and mutual funds.
