When the underlying liability coverage on your automobile, home or recreational vehicles have been exhausted the excess liability umbrella would cover above this coverage. Coverage is provided for you, your spouse and any relatives living in your household and insured by your primary polices. This policy also includes coverage if you are sued for false imprisonment, wrongful eviction, libel and slander, defamation of character, or invasion of privacy.
