Comprehensive Protection with an Umbrella Policy
Protect Beyond Limits for Total Peace of Mind
An umbrella policy is one of the most critical coverages to protect your business, bridging any gaps or coverage limitations in your existing insurance policies. It provides an extra layer of security by covering extraordinary losses that go beyond the limits of your primary policies, such as General Liability, Professional Liability, Commercial Auto, and Employers Liability.
Adapting Coverage as Your Business Grows
Often, businesses focus on basic coverage when starting out, meeting federal and state requirements and contract obligations. However, as your business expands—taking on more clients, locations, or products—your risk exposure increases. A larger operation requires additional protection, and increasing your coverage limits with an umbrella policy can ensure your business is safeguarded against unexpected, high-cost claims.
This type of insurance is probably one of the most important coverages you can have to protect your business. An umbrella policy will make up for gaps or coverage limitations on existing polices. An umbrella covers any extraordinary losses that exceed the limit on an underlying policy (GL/PL, Commercial Auto, Employers Liability, and more).
This type of insurance is often overlooked. Many businesses start off and purchase all of the underlying policies they need to be compliant with various federal & state agencies, along with contract stipulations. However, as their business grows, they inherently take on more risk via more clients, or more locations, or more products being developed. Whatever, the case might be for your business, the operation may be much larger than it was five years prior, and it may be time to purchase additional insurance limits.
Claim Examples
If your company is found liable for a client’s wrongful death and you are sued for $1.5 million and you only have $1 million in coverage, the umbrella policy with pick up the remaining $500,000.
Your employee was wrongfully injured on the job due to the employer’s negligence, and they hire an attorney. The Workers Comp portion of the coverage paid out medical expenses, but the employee is claiming further damages. Umbrella Liability can provide protection above the customary Employers Liability limits found in the underlying policy.
