Supplemental Liability Insurance

Definition of "Supplemental liability insurance"

Broad excess protection for liability over the level of primary coverage or self insurance. Umbrella policies are written for both business and personal liability. For example, a personal umbrella policy might add $1 million in liability coverage for an insured's negligent use of a car, boat, and all other property, over and above regular coverage. For a business, its applications would be even broader, including workers compensation, general liability, and all other coverage. Policyholders must have a certain minimum level of primary insurance before they can buy this supplemental coverage. For a personal policy the minimum might be $100,000 in homeowners liability insurance and $500,000 per accident for bodily injury in an auto policy.
