Basically, commercial umbrella liability insurance picks up where your primary liability policy leaves off. Suppose a customer gets injured by one of your products. Your company ends up in a lawsuit with damages you owe. Your primary liability policy can provide coverage up to the limits specified in your policy, but if that's not enough, an umbrella liability policy can assist with covering the remaining balance, up to your umbrella policy limits.
In today’s tech-driven world, we share your concerns. The confidential data that you store electronically is an additional business risk that needs protection. While managing the risk can’t eliminate the possibility of a cyber crime, our cyber liability insurance will help cover you if your company’s confidential data is compromised. We can provide privacy breach response services, such as computer specialists, legal advice, and credit monitoring services.
