A Commercial Excess Liability Insurance policy, also known as Excess Liability, acts as an extra layer of protection for your business beyond the limits of your primary liability insurance policies.
Here's a breakdown of how it works:
This is where an Excess Liability policy comes in. It picks up where your primary policies leave off, covering the difference between the primary policy's limit and the total cost of the claim. So, in the above scenario, if you had an Excess Liability policy with a limit of $5 million, it would cover the remaining $4 million (up to its limit) of the claim, protecting your business from significant financial losses.
Consulting with an insurance professional is crucial to assess your specific needs, risks, and existing coverage. They can help you determine if Excess Liability is right for your business and recommend suitable coverage limits and terms. Remember, having the right insurance in place can be critical in protecting your business from financial devastation due to unforeseen events and costly lawsuits.
It's important to note that these are just some examples, and specific types of insurance can be further customized based on individual needs and risks. If you're considering insurance, it's crucial to discuss your specific requirements with one of our qualified insurance professionals to find the most suitable coverage for your risk profile.
