Umbrella Liability
(AKA Excess Liability) provides additional coverage when the limits of
insurance on an underlying policy are exceeded. For instance, if you have
$1,000,000 coverage under General Liability and you have a claim settlement for
$1,500,000, the umbrella policy would pick up the additional amount. Umbrella
Liability policies add coverage to General Liability, Hired and Non-owned Auto
Liability, and Employer's Liability for a single premium. It is important to
note that Umbrella coverage does not apply to the Professional Liability policy.
Umbrella liability coverage may be described in your contract in this way:
"Commercial Excess Liability Insurance in the amount of $1,000,000."
