Insurance Policy

Umbrella Liability Insurance Policy

The umbrella insurance policy is catastrophe protection. It covers you when a claim or several claims exhaust the limits of your primary:

  • general liability,
  • business auto liability and
  • the employer’s legal liability section of your workers’ compensation policy. 

The umbrella policy serves three purposes:

  • it provides excess limits when the limits of underlying liability policies are exhausted by the payment of claims;
  • it drops down and picks up where the underlying policy leaves off after the aggregate limit of the underlying policy is exhausted by the payment of claims; and
  • it protects against some claims not covered by the underlying policies, subject to the self-insured retention (SIR).
