Commercial Umbrella Insurance

Additional liability protection above qualifying underlying policies.

A commercial umbrella adds another layer of liability protection on top of qualifying underlying policies. It is often the most efficient way to meet the higher limits that leases, clients, lenders and venues require.

What it can help cover

  • Extra limits above general liability, auto and employer’s liability
  • Large claims that exceed underlying policy limits
  • Contracts or venues that require higher limits

What it typically doesn’t cover

  • Claims not covered by the underlying policies (in most cases)
  • Property damage to your own business
  • Professional liability (usually separate)

Every policy is different. Your actual coverage depends on the policy terms, limits and exclusions.

FAQ

About commercial umbrella

Umbrella or excess, what’s the difference?

Both add limits. An umbrella may sometimes broaden coverage, while excess policies follow the underlying terms. Forms vary by carrier.

Do I need underlying policies first?

Yes. Umbrellas sit above qualifying underlying policies such as general liability and commercial auto.
