Adds an extra layer of liability protection above your GL, auto, and employers liability limits. Critical for Dallas businesses with contract requirements.
An umbrella policy provides excess liability coverage above your existing general liability, commercial auto, and employers liability limits. When an underlying policy is exhausted, the umbrella kicks in to cover the remaining damages and defense costs.
Any business that faces catastrophic liability exposure. Contractors working on large projects. Trucking companies with fleet operations. Businesses with high foot traffic. Any company whose contracts require limits above $1M/$2M.
$1M umbrella: $300 to $1,000/year for low-risk businesses. $500 to $3,000 for moderate-risk. $2,000 to $8,000+ for high-risk industries like construction and trucking. The cost per million drops as you buy higher limits.
"A $1.2 million auto accident claim exhausted our GL and auto limits. Our $5M umbrella covered the rest. Best $3,400 we ever spent."

Match your contract requirements and asset exposure. Most small businesses start at $1M. Contractors and trucking companies often need $5M to $10M.
No. It has its own exclusions (typically professional liability, pollution, intentional acts). But it dramatically increases your protection against catastrophic claims.
