Excess Liability

Additional Protection Above Your Primary Coverage

Excess liability insurance provides additional limits of liability above certain underlying policies, helping give your business another layer of financial protection when a covered claim exceeds those primary limits.

For contractors and businesses, having enough liability protection can be an important part of managing larger risks. We help you review your existing policies and understand where additional limits may make sense for your operations.

Built Around Your Level of Risk

Your need for additional liability protection depends on the type of work you perform, the size of your projects, your contracts, and the risks connected to your business. A contractor working on major commercial projects may have different needs than a smaller business with limited operations.

We look at your business structure and existing insurance program to help determine whether excess liability coverage may be appropriate. Our goal is to help you understand your exposure and explore options that provide additional protection where you need it.

Supporting Larger Projects and Contracts

Many contractors work under contracts that require higher liability limits. Project owners, general contractors, and other parties may request additional insurance limits before allowing work to begin.

We understand how important it is to meet these requirements without creating unnecessary complications. We can help review your contract requirements and coordinate your insurance program so your liability limits are structured to support your business activities.

A Stronger Layer of Protection

Unexpected claims can create significant financial pressure for a business. Excess liability coverage can provide an additional layer of protection when the limits of certain underlying policies have been exhausted, subject to the terms and conditions of the policy.

We help you evaluate your current liability program and consider whether additional limits could strengthen your overall protection. Our focus is on helping you prepare for the larger risks that come with running and growing a business.
