Corgi vs Newfront Umbrella and Excess Liability Insurance

Corgi sells Commercial Umbrella as excess capacity that sits above a startup's scheduled underlying CGL, HNOA, and EPLI policies rather than as a standalone primary policy. ⁶Company-reported. Umbrella product page description.

Newfront places umbrella and excess liability coverage through its Casualty practice rather than underwriting it; the practice negotiates placement structure and terms with carriers on the client's behalf. ¹¹Company-reported. Casualty page Our Approach and Key Coverages sections.

The umbrella product page does not name the issuing carrier for this line; Corgi's general disclosures say coverage may be underwritten by affiliated or third-party carriers depending on product and jurisdiction, without identifying which entity covers umbrella specifically. ⁶Not publicly disclosed. Umbrella product page as read on 2026-09-23, checked against the site's general underwriting disclosure language.

The reviewed Casualty page does not name an insurer for umbrella or excess placements; it describes 'strong carrier relationships' generally without naming a carrier. ¹¹Not publicly disclosed. Casualty page as read on 2026-09-23; carrier depends on the specific placement.

Not described in the reviewed sources.

Newfront says its Casualty team protects companies of every size and scope, and lists industry verticals it serves, including construction, manufacturing, technology, and life science, without a stated minimum size or premium threshold for umbrella/excess placements specifically. ¹¹Company-reported. Casualty page intro and Areas of Expertise list.

Corgi describes the umbrella as occurrence-based and follow-form: it attaches once a scheduled underlying policy's per-occurrence or aggregate limit is exhausted, matches that policy's terms and exclusions, and can drop down to respond as primary if an underlying policy is unavailable due to insurer insolvency or aggregate exhaustion (but generally not for a coverage exclusion). ⁶Company-reported. Umbrella product page glossary and FAQ; actual attachment and drop-down terms are set by the issued policy.

Corgi lists six scenarios the umbrella extends to: CGL excess, hired-auto excess, EPLI excess, personal and advertising injury excess, products-completed operations excess, and CGL aggregate refresh. ⁶Company-reported. Umbrella product page "Six Scenarios" section; each still requires the matching underlying policy to be in place and exhausted.

Umbrella/Excess Liability is listed as one of the Key Coverages within Newfront's Casualty practice, alongside general liability, product liability, auto liability, and workers' compensation, but the page does not describe specific attachment points or underlying-policy requirements. ¹¹Company-reported. Casualty page Key Coverages list; no policy form reviewed.

Corgi's illustrative umbrella example shows a $5 million per-occurrence and $5 million aggregate layer with a $0 self-insured retention above the scheduled underlying limits. ⁶Company-reported. Illustrative policy structure ('Anatomy of a $5M Umbrella Policy') on the product page; actual limits and retention depend on the issued policy and the schedule of underlying.

Newfront's Casualty page does not publish umbrella or excess limit options; it describes program structuring (guaranteed cost, large deductible, self-insurance, captive) as a service rather than stating specific limit tiers. ¹¹Not publicly disclosed. Placement Expertise section; no limits schedule available.

The reviewed umbrella page does not describe risk-management or loss-control services tied specifically to the umbrella layer. ⁶Not found in reviewed sources. Umbrella product page as read on 2026-09-23.

Newfront says its Casualty team provides predictive analytics and benchmarking, claims advocacy, and integrated risk control to reduce claim frequency and total cost of risk, which the page frames as relevant across the casualty coverages it places, including umbrella/excess. ¹¹Company-reported. Our Approach and The Newfront Difference sections.

Corgi's homepage lists Commercial Umbrella Liability under specialty coverages with a 1-14 day turnaround, distinct from the policies marked for an instant online quote. ²Company-reported. Homepage policy-card labeling as of 2026-09-23.
