Personal insurance plays a vital role in protecting the people and things that matter most. Whether you’re securing your family’s financial future with life insurance, covering your pet’s health needs, or safeguarding your personal assets with umbrella coverage, having the right policies in place offers peace of mind.

This FAQ page answers common questions about personal umbrella, pet, and life insurance — including term life, whole life, and universal life. If you’re unsure about which type of policy best fits your needs, this is a great place to start.

Commonly Asked Questions About Personal Umbrella Insurance

What is personal umbrella insurance?

Personal umbrella insurance is extra liability coverage that goes beyond the limits of your auto, home, or other policies. It helps protect your assets in case of large claims or lawsuits.

Anyone with significant assets, frequent drivers, homeowners, landlords, or individuals with increased public exposure can benefit from the added protection of an umbrella policy.

It covers bodily injury liability, property damage liability, certain lawsuits (like defamation or slander), and legal defense costs.

Coverage typically starts at $1 million, but the right amount depends on your total assets, risk exposure, and comfort level. Nikki Farag can help tailor the right amount for your needs.

Yes, many personal umbrella policies from Farmers® provide worldwide coverage, but it’s best to check your specific policy for details.

No, umbrella insurance typically requires you to have underlying auto or homeowners coverage with certain minimum liability limits in place.

Commonly Asked Questions About Pet Insurance

What does pet insurance cover?

Pet insurance typically covers accidents, illnesses, surgeries, prescriptions, and sometimes wellness care like vaccinations and annual checkups—depending on your plan.

Most plans are available for dogs and cats. Some insurers may offer limited coverage for other animals, but Farmers focuses on canine and feline companions.

If your pet experiences an accident or develops a medical condition that’s covered by your policy, pet insurance can help offset the high cost of veterinary care. For instance, treating a dog with a broken bone can average around $3,192 With modern advancements in veterinary medicine, treatment costs continue to rise—but depending on your plan, pet insurance may cover up to 90% of those expenses.

Yes. Pets Best plans offer coverage for multiple pets, and there may be a discount for people who insure more than one pet. Each pet will have its own coverage, including its own policy limits, deductibles and reimbursement rates, but you can manage all pets under one account. 

Like many pet insurance providers, Pets Best does not cover pre-existing conditions. This means any illness or condition your pet was diagnosed with or treated for before the policy took effect will not be included in the coverage.

Yes, you’re free to visit any licensed veterinarian, specialist, or emergency clinic in the U.S. or Canada. Pets Best operates as an open-network insurer, so you’re not restricted to a specific list of providers. After paying for your pet’s care, simply submit a claim for reimbursement based on the terms of your policy.

Yes, you can make changes to your Pets Best policy at any time, though certain limitations may apply.

 

For instance, you can increase your coverage—such as switching plans, raising your reimbursement percentage, or adjusting your deductible—but these changes typically take effect at your next policy renewal or may require starting a new policy. You may also be able to add or remove options like Wellness Routine Care or accident coverage, depending on your plan. However, once a condition has been diagnosed, it cannot be added to your coverage if it’s considered pre-existing.

Commonly Asked Questions About Life Insurance

What is life insurance?

Life insurance is a contract that provides a payout to your beneficiaries after your death, helping cover expenses like funeral costs, debts, and ongoing living needs.

That depends on your income, debts, family size, and future goals like paying off a mortgage or funding college. Nikki Farag can help you calculate the right amount of coverage.

Term life insurance covers you for a set period (like 10, 20, or 30 years), while whole life insurance provides lifelong coverage with a cash value component.

Universal life insurance is a flexible policy that offers lifelong coverage with the option to adjust your premiums and death benefit over time. It also builds cash value.

Yes, many people hold multiple policies to meet different needs—like combining a term policy with permanent coverage.

Yes, many policies—especially universal life—offer flexibility. You may also be able to increase or decrease coverage, or convert a term policy into a permanent one.
