At J3 Insurance Group, we understand that running a business involves taking risks, and sometimes your standard liability coverage may not be enough to fully protect you. That’s where commercial umbrella insurance comes in. This crucial coverage provides an extra layer of protection beyond the limits of your existing policies, such as general liability, commercial auto, and employer’s liability insurance.

When your business faces a large claim or lawsuit, commercial umbrella insurance ensures you have the financial backup to cover costs that exceed your primary coverage limits.  Commercial umbrella insurance helps protect your business from significant financial losses that could otherwise jeopardize your operations and future growth.

​

Example 1: Protection Against Large Liability Claims: Suppose a customer is seriously injured on your business property, and the medical expenses and legal costs exceed the limits of your general liability policy. Without commercial umbrella insurance, your business would be responsible for covering the additional costs out of pocket. Umbrella insurance steps in when your primary coverage is exhausted, ensuring you have the financial support to handle large claims without draining your business’s resources.

​

Example 2: Additional Coverage for Auto Accidents: If one of your employees is involved in a severe accident while driving a company vehicle, the damages and injury costs may surpass your commercial auto policy’s limits. In such cases, commercial umbrella insurance provides extended coverage, paying for the additional expenses and protecting your business from a financial burden that could be devastating.

​

Example 3: Legal Defense for Major Lawsuits: In today’s litigious environment, even small businesses can be targeted by lawsuits that can result in substantial legal fees. For example, a product defect or professional mistake could lead to a major lawsuit that exceeds the limits of your professional liability insurance. Commercial umbrella insurance covers the extra- legal costs, ensuring you have the resources to mount a strong defense and protect your business’s reputation and finances.

​
