What is Excess Liability Insurance?
Excess Liability provides additional liability limits in $1,000,000 increments over underlying policies, such as general liability and commercial auto. Extra liability requirements are expected when working on commercial or high-value residential projects.
For Example: You are working on a house worth $1,500,000, and while working you accidentally cause the house to burn down, your existing general liability policy will only pay $1,000,000 for any single loss. You will be stuck owing the remaining $500,000!
There is no substitute for experience, so if you’re trying to find the best possible excess liability for general contractors in your location, you have come to the right place! Place your business in the capable hands of Pascal Burke Insurance Brokerage today!
When Do You Need Excess Liability Insurance?
- Contractual requirements specify higher liability limits than what is offered by your General Liability and Commercial Auto alone.
You are working on projects with values greater than $1,000,000. - Excess Liability insurance is a type of policy that provides limits that exceed the underlying liability policy. It does not broaden the stated coverage, but will offer higher limits on the original policy. The primary purpose of Excess Liability insurance is to add a layer of protection in case the underlying insurance is exhausted of all possible resources.
Protecting your business means defending yourself against the fiscal risk of lawsuits and claims. For many businesses, one single lawsuit could be financially disastrous. Commercial property insurance protects your business assets and keeps your business running.
