A commercial umbrella policy is a form of business liability insurance that provides additional coverage in the event that your business is liable for a claim in excess of your current general liability, business owners, commercial auto, or commercial property insurance. This type of insurance policy also covers attorney fees should you be taken to court.
Any business can benefit from purchasing an umbrella policy, but some businesses are at greater risk than others of excessive losses. If you or your business are in any of the situations listed below, you should strongly consider buying an umbrella policy:
