Your auto, homeowner and watercraft policies may not provide enough protection in the event of a serious loss. You can get additional coverage from an “excess policy” which provides coverage in excess of your primary insurance. For example, if you have a car accident, your primary auto insurance policy would be your first level of coverage, or primary insurance; the Personal Excess Liability Insurance would be the final level of coverage after all other applicable policy limits are exhausted.
Examples of situations this coverage could potentially address are:
- The policy will pay all sums that you may become legally obligated to pay for a covered bodily injury, personal injury or property damage claim in excess of the required underlying limit.
- Court and legal defense costs.
- Interest on unpaid judgements.
- Premiums on appeal bonds.
The policy will pay all sums that you may become legally obligated to pay for a covered bodily, injury, personal injury or property damage claim in excess of the required underlying limit. Coverage applies to personal injury and property damage worldwide if the incident occurs when the policy is in effect.
