Excess & UmbrellaInsurance California

Excess and umbrella insurance provides critical high-limit protection above your primary policies. When a catastrophic claim exhausts your GL or auto limits, your umbrella kicks in. Wellington Partners shops the full market to find the right coverage for your business.

What Excess / Umbrella Insurance Does

An excess or umbrella policy sits above your primary insurance layers β€” GL, commercial auto, and employers liability β€” providing additional limits when a catastrophic claim exhausts your primary coverage.

βœ“
Excess Liability
Kicks in when a single claim exceeds your primary policy limits β€” covering the difference up to your umbrella limit.
βœ“
Broader Coverage
Umbrella policies often cover claims excluded by underlying policies, providing broader protection than primary lines alone.
βœ“
Defense Costs
Covers additional legal defense costs above what your primary policies provide β€” critical in large liability lawsuits.
βœ“
Multiple Underlying Policies
A single umbrella can sit above multiple underlying policies β€” GL, auto, and employers liability β€” with one consolidated limit.

The Reality of Large Claims in California

California is one of the most litigious states in the country. Standard primary limits of $1M are often insufficient for serious accidents.

βš–οΈ
Contractor Liability
A serious jobsite accident can generate claims well above $1M β€” medical costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering add up fast.
πŸš›
Trucking Accidents
A commercial vehicle accident resulting in serious injury or fatality can generate multi-million dollar claims.
🏒
Contract Requirements
Many large commercial contracts require $5M or higher limits β€” umbrella is the most cost-effective way to meet those requirements.
