Overview of Commercial Umbrella Insurance
Commercial umbrella insurance adds extra liability limits on top of your underlying general liability, commercial auto, and employer’s liability policies. When a serious claim exceeds those primary limits, the umbrella may respond, helping keep a single large event from reaching your business assets.
