🚨 Do you really need excess liability coverage?
If your business already has general liability insurance, you may wonder why you would need an excess liability policy too.
Here’s the simple answer: your business can be exposed to a lawsuit that exceeds the limits of your underlying liability policy.
Excess liability provides an additional layer of protection above the limits of your underlying policies. If a large claim exhausts those limits, excess coverage can help protect your business from having to absorb the remaining costs out of pocket.
For example, if your business has a $1 million liability limit and a serious claim results in $2 million in damages, that additional $1 million could become your responsibility without additional coverage.
💡 Businesses can face significant liability exposure from things like:
• Serious customer or third-party injuries
• Major property damage
• Large lawsuits or settlements
• Accidents involving employees or business operations
• Claims that exceed your underlying liability limits
You may think, “That won't happen to my business.” And hopefully it never does. But insurance is about being prepared for the one claim you never expected.
If you own a business, it's worth reviewing your liability limits to determine whether an excess liability policy makes sense for you.
