Insurance Coverage for Small Businesses

Excess Liability Coverage

These are liability limits available over and above the maximum limit your carrier of choice may write. They can be accomplished in two ways: Excess limits can typically be added at extra cost to the underlying package policy in "chunks" of $500,000 or $1 million dollar layers sometimes up to $5 million.

  • Purchasing what is called a "commercial umbrella." This can typically provide excess coverage over and above most underlying package policies, including the business policy, business auto, and worker's compensation.

SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND: Your carrier of choice may offer lower limits, which may look attractive from a premium standpoint. But savvy business owners should contemplate liability limits of at least one million dollars. The additional cost is usually affordable and, in today's litigious environment, makes good sense.

  • Example: You, the business owner, suffer an auto accident in which you are determined to be at fault. In addition, the accident results in the victim being rendered a paraplegic. This type of loss can easily result in a multi-million dollar judgment against you.
