Umbrella or Excess Liability may provide additional limits above eligible scheduled underlying policies according to attachment points, exclusions, endorsements, and policy terms. Requested limits should be based on actual contracts, operations, vehicles, payroll, claims, and underlying coverage.
Availability, form, limits, attachment points, pricing, and timing are subject to complete underlying policy information and underwriting. Use the dedicated in-page Umbrella and Excess review form to submit current limits and requested coverage details.
Umbrella or Excess Liability may provide additional limits above scheduled underlying liability policies when the business and carrier requirements are satisfied. The underlying policies, limits, exclusions, retained amounts, operations, contracts, and claims history must be reviewed together; excess coverage is not automatically broader than the underlying policy.
The terms are policy-specific. Excess coverage generally adds limits above scheduled underlying policies, while an umbrella may include additional terms or broader features depending on the form. Read the actual policy rather than relying on the label.
A carrier may require scheduled General Liability, Commercial Auto, Employers Liability, or other underlying policies with specified limits and continuity. The required schedule depends on the application and policy form.
No. It generally sits above underlying coverage and does not replace the underlying policy, required limits, endorsements, exclusions, or contract-specific insurance obligations.
