Key Differences in Umbrella and Excess Liability Insurance

General Digital Placement Versus Specialist Extra Limits

Coverdash and Risklytics both place rather than underwrite. Coverdash describes commercial umbrella over GL, commercial auto, and employer’s liability under workers’ compensation, sold through a fully digital quote-to-purchase process. 4 6 9

Contract Ask and Typical Stack

Risklytics says the usual trigger is the first contract demanding more liability than the primary, often an enterprise MSA or a site owner asking for $5 million or more, with a typical ask of $1 million to $10 million stacked over general liability, commercial auto, and employer’s liability. 9 4

What to Confirm in Umbrella and Excess Liability Insurance Quotes

  • Compare Risklytics’ $1–10 million typical ask with Coverdash’s unpublished digital limit. 9 4
  • Confirm Risklytics’ no-broker-fee statement against the quote. 10
