Commercial Umbrella / Excess Liability

 

Umbrella Liability (AKA Excess Liability) provides additional coverage when the limits of insurance on an underlying policy are exceeded.

For instance, if you have $1,000,000 coverage under General Liability and you have a claim settlement for $1,500,000, the umbrella policy would pick up the additional amount. Umbrella Liability policies add coverage to General Liability, Hired and Non-owned Auto Liability, and Employer's Liability for a single premium. It is important to note that Umbrella coverage does not apply to the Professional Liability policy.


 

 
 

Premium is generated by taking these exposures into consideration:

* Number and type of commercial vehicles on the underlying business auto policy
* Number and type of additional insured's
* Gross sales or payroll of the underlying general liability policy
* Subcontractor exposures shown on the underlying general liability policy
* Minimum acceptable underlying policy limits of liability

Why do I need Umbrella Liability / Excess Liability Insurance?

The primary feature of umbrella protection is an additional amount of liability insurance, in increments of $1,000,000, that is excess over "basic" general liability, automobile liability, and employers' liability coverage (the company liability part of a workers' compensation policy).

In the event of an accident or emergency, and your General Liability (typically $1,000,000 limit) will not cover the claim -- having, or not having an Excess Liability/Umbrella policy could determine whether or not your company files for bankruptcy.
