Detective Morgan was in her office, in the dark, being pelted by pouring rain that hit the window incessantly. In her years of work, she had diagnosed a lot of people but this had some additional features that separated it from other cases, so she was interested in taking it on. Mr. Thompson, a prized client and a rather wealthy man at that, had called her, in tears. For many people, business, property, and savings are treasures that one would die for, and for obvious reasons, he was in danger and he had to seek assistance.
As fate would have it, the woman had barely risen from her chair, when a tall man whose appearance was extremely shadowy crossed the door of her office. “Detective Morgan, I suppose?” he asked, and although there was no shade of anger in his voice, one could easily tell he was in a hurry. ”Hello there, my name is Mr. Thompson. I believe that you are the right person to safeguard my money and whatever possessions I have. Unfortunately, I have invested in different fields and I feel that all I have is slowly disappearing. ”
Thompson then went to Morgan and told him everything, Morgan kept on listening to him. He invested in properties, and other valuable assets and had financial stakes in various businesses. It has also been observed that there were areas of his primary insurance coverage that remained uncovered, leaving him exposed. ‘I’ve heard they exist such a thing as umbrella insurance,’ he said to me. "Can it help?"
With a nod, Morgan threw a cigarette in his mouth. “Well, Mr. Thompson, umbrella insurance is a policy of last resort,” he explained, “It’s like having an umbrella over your car when there’s rain already falling on it It helps to pay for what’s not covered by your existing policies. In the case of a lawsuit or a claim, if it surpasses your usual insurance, this particular policy covers the remainder. ”
As they delved deeper, Morgan uncovered potential threats: He might also suffer a horrific slip-and-fall accident at Thompson’s rental property, receive a defamation judgment against him from a former business competitor, or get into a serious car accident. Both could result in a complete loss of the financial plans in the face of risk unless the risk is very well covered.
Morgan crafted a plan. ”We must consider umbrella coverage for your exposure program,” she pointed out. “It provides ample protection including bodily injuries, property damages and personal liability. It helps them against the unexpected large claims.”
Having said that, Thompson breathed a sigh of relief only to be faced with another twist. One day he said, “What if I travel abroad?”. “Will my coverage extend?” Morgan smiled. “Indeed, Mr. Thompson. Umbrella insurance indeed provides international coverage. Your property is always safe regardless of the country you are in. ”
Thompson felt relieved as soon as the plan was set because he knew that all their hard work was going to start paying off. Morgan had seen him walk out of her office a man whose mind is at rest. With that, she concluded and closed the file, “Another case closed,” she said to herself and she went back to doing her paperwork. But she understood that in the field of encompassing threats’ management, the following enigma was ever to be one step ahead.
As Morgan reflected on the case, she penned a note for her records: ”Umbrella insurance is quite a significant component of the best risk management strategies to make the missing link and have a strong shield against the potentially catastrophic losses… Every person who has some valuable assets should consider it an essential part of their protection tools. ”
