Think you’re covered by your umbrella policy? You might want to take a closer look. In this eye-opening episode of the I Hate Insurance podcast, Rick and Parker Lindsey expose how most insurance policies—especially personal and umbrella coverage—aren’t actually protecting buyers the way they think.
What starts as a breakdown of umbrella policies turns into a broader conversation about the dysfunction in today’s insurance industry. From shifting liability to carving out endless exclusions, most companies are designing products that leave individuals and business owners dangerously exposed. Rick and Parker don’t hold back—they challenge the system, call out weak policies, and explain how to build true protection by aligning interests, simplifying coverage, and taking full responsibility for your risk.
