Business Umbrella & Excess Liability Insurance Policy
The Risks, the Law and the Challenge
In the current environment of spiraling legal costs and high liability judgments, businesses need strong liability protection more than ever before. A catastrophe can occur at any time. In the event that it does, Business Umbrella & Excess Liability Insurance Policies will help protect assets by providing higher limits, broader coverage and first dollar defense when primary liability limits have been exhausted or do not respond.
Food processors, contractors, printers, manufactures, wholesalers, publishers, service industries – there is no business that is immune from under-insured losses. And the startling realities of today’s legal judgments increase the likelihood.
Prior to 1962, there were no jury verdicts for a million dollars. Since that first million-dollar award a quarter century ago, the number has skyrocketed to nearly 5,000.
However, business and industry must continue to take the risks in this litigious environment in order to thrive and grow. For more than a three decades Allen Financial has taken a leadership role in providing business with that extra edge of protection, finding ways to write business protection plans to shield companies from indemnification and possible defense costs.
Business catastrophes can and do happen anytime. Allen Financial shares a place in the risk environment and consistently meets the challenge to provide the very best underwriting expertise available, backed by the nation’s leading insurers and a corporate history of commitment to service.
