Commercial umbrella or excess liability can provide additional limits over scheduled underlying policies. Select a policy below to see how it may fit.

Serious claims involving your business.

May add limits for covered third-party bodily injury or property damage after the scheduled general liability policy’s applicable limits are exhausted.

The umbrella must accept the underlying policy and the exposure. Exclusions and required underlying limits still apply.

A coordinated review

Build the limits around your business.

01 / YOUR OPERATIONS

Know the exposure.

We review your work, locations, vehicles, contracts, and liability loss history.

02 / YOUR FOUNDATION

Check what sits below.

Underlying limits, policy dates, insured entities, and exclusions need to align.

03 / YOUR REQUIREMENTS

Compare the structure.

We review requested limits and contract requirements alongside available terms.

Professional liability, cyber, pollution, and employment practices may need separate coverage or specialized excess policies.
