What is Excess Liability Insurance?

Excess Liability, also known as an Umbrella policy, offers extra protection when your regular plans' liability limits—such as those for your house or car—are reached. For example, if you were injured in a car accident and required expensive surgery, you must cover any costs exceeding the at-fault driver's liability limits. This is where Excess Liability coverage from Hecht-Stout Insurance Agency in Dunlap would help cover those unexpected expenses.

Types of Excess Liability Insurance


Umbrella liability insurance and excess liability insurance are the two primary varieties of excess liability insurance.

Excess Liability Insurance
This type pays for claims that exceed the limits of your existing policies, based strictly on the underlying scope of coverage, often referred to as a follow-form basis.

Umbrella Liability Insurance 
This serves three primary purposes:

  1. Provides additional limits when the payment exceeds the limits of your underlying liability policies.
  2. Picks up where the underlying policy leaves off when the aggregate amount of the underlying policy is exhausted by claim payments.
  1. Covers certain claims not covered by the underlying policies, subject to the named insured's assumption of a self-insured retention (SIR).

Importance of Excess Liability Insurance


Excess Liability Insurance is crucial because it can increase your coverage for:

  • Lawsuits and legal fees associated with your business
  • Property damage and personal injury cases, such as slips and falls
  • Additional coverage for your Commercial Auto insurance policy
  • Other excess liabilities beyond your primary policy limits
