Excess Liability Insurance
Operating a company in a strong market is a difficult undertaking, never mind trying to keep your business running in a weak economy. Being a business owner, you worry about the future of your company. Chances are you’ve spent a great deal of time and money trying to keep the doors open and expanding your unique specific brand of services around the state. Growing a business is a great achievement.
But don’t get too focused on just growing your company. There are a lot of pitfalls to this adventure you’ve undertaken, and it’s essential to have a plan for the mistakes and accidents that could slow down or devastate your march to economic freedom. Ideally, the perfect plan to protect against these pitfalls may be to get a good BOP insurance policy. However a BOP will only protect you so far.
How does excess liability insurance protect a company?
If an accident occurs and you go to court and are found at fault ,and the award of that claim filed against your company surpasses the liability confines of your existing BOP liability coverage, then an excess liability policy would then take effect.
For example: The claimant is awarded 1.5 million dollars. The liability part of your BOP insurance policy only covers $1,000,000. An excess liability insurance policy will take effect and cover the $500,000 shortage.
At Donigan Insurance we can help you cover the liability gaps of almost any business insurance policy. We can provide an Excess Liability Insurance Policy to cover small businesses as well as large companies.
The main advantage of this type of insurance is that it can be customized to cover your specific needs – from personal protection against injury and property damage, to additional funds to meet legal defense expenses.
