Why the need for an Excess/Umbrella?

  • Liability exposures represent potential adverse losses resulting from a claim or a lawsuit against a person or a business for alleged wrongdoing, even if the client is an outstanding citizen or businessmen with no past history of this type of events.
  • The rise in number of lawsuits and size of verdicts and settlements impose a heavy financial burden on any business, large or small.
  • Will be the main line of defense in today's increasingly litigious society as it will provide both higher and additional limits of coverage over primary policies.
  • From the viewpoint of the Insurer, a policy is needed because of the challenges in managing the exposures of liability losses.  The challenges include balancing market competitive pricing versus avoiding adverse selection - while meeting the needs of the Insured.
