Commercial Umbrella Insurance

Like a personal umbrella policy, a business umbrella policy covers a catastrophic loss and can potentially save a business from huge financial distress. Often, it can be the difference of staying in business or going out of business.

Umbrella liability insurance for your business will protect you when a covered claim occurs and your existing liability policy cannot cover all the expenses.

The standard business liability policy is typically adequate for most situations, but umbrella liability will help ensure that your business is protected for large losses. Owning a business is risky, but going without proper insurance is riskier. No one wants to be sued, but because accidents occur, sometimes lawsuits are unavoidable.

Consider these possibilities:

• Your company holiday party serves too much alcohol and people leave intoxicated resulting in personal injury or damages.
• Your commercial building has an undetected carbon monoxide leak and that results in injury/death.
• Your business is accused of failing to render the appropriate professional services.
