With a median home value near $490K across Travis County, the typical Austin household has built real equity — and a single at-fault accident or lawsuit can put it at risk. Harvey Insurance helps Austin families layer excess liability protection on top of their auto and home policies.

Harvey Insurance is a trusted local agency serving families and businesses across Texas, Oklahoma & Arkansas — backed by America’s most reputable carriers.
Austin’s growth has pushed the median Travis County home value near $490K, and with median household incomes around $94K, a lot of local families now carry substantial equity and future earnings worth protecting. Standard auto and home policies typically cap liability at $300K or $500K — a figure a serious injury lawsuit can blow past in a single verdict. When that happens, plaintiffs’ attorneys go after personal assets: home equity, savings, and even wage garnishment. An umbrella policy adds $1M to $5M of excess coverage that sits above your existing limits, often for just a few hundred dollars a year.

Everyday life in Austin — commuting on I-35 and MoPac, hosting friends at the house, owning a pool or a dog — carries liability exposure that can quickly outrun a standard policy.
A multi-vehicle wreck on I-35 or MoPac with serious injuries can generate medical and legal claims well into seven figures. Once your auto liability limit is exhausted, an umbrella policy absorbs the rest before it reaches your assets.
A guest injured at a backyard gathering, a dog bite, or a pool accident can lead to a costly liability claim against you. With Austin home values near $490K, homeowners have real equity that a judgment can target.
When a claim exceeds your policy limits, plaintiffs pursue home equity, savings, and future income to make up the difference. For an Austin household earning around $94K with a $490K home, that exposure is very real — and exactly what umbrella coverage is built to shield.
