“AN EXTENSION TO OUR COMMERCIAL GENERAL LIABILITY” SWG CGL – Commercial General Liability insurance
Excess Liability will provide additional limits when your current CGL policy limits have been exhausted.
- Excess and Umbrella Liability can be applied to multiple underlying liability policies, such as General Liability policy, E&O Policy, Automobile Liability, and many more
Umbrella Liability, however, will go above and beyond Excess Liability. Providing additional protection by:
- Drop down when an underlying policy’s aggregate limits are exhausted
- Cover claims not included by the underlying policies
For an Umbrella policy to cover claims beyond those covered in the underlying policy, your client would be required to pay a self-insured retention (SIR). An SIR is the amount of money your client pays before the insurance company responds to the loss. For instance, let’s say your client has an Umbrella policy with a $10,000 SIR, and they make a claim that costs $100,000. Your client must pay $10,000 toward the claim, and then the insurance company will pay the rest.
