Key Differences in Umbrella and Excess Liability Insurance

Program Review and Policy Structure

WithCoverage treats umbrella as one item in a broader program audit: it says it benchmarks current terms, limits, and premiums for construction and consumer clients. Zurich describes its Commercial Umbrella through two sections, follow-form excess Coverage A and lead umbrella Coverage B. If you are considering Zurich after a program review, ask WithCoverage to show how the current layer compares and ask Zurich for the schedule explaining which underlying limits attach to each section. 4 9

Client Segment and Fit

WithCoverage’s reviewed audit pages name construction and consumer-brand businesses as client groups; Zurich’s cited description outlines follow-form Coverage A and lead umbrella Coverage B. A contractor or consumer brand should ask Zurich which class, operations, and state appetite fit its quote, while asking WithCoverage which existing limits and premiums it will benchmark. Neither description establishes that a particular risk will qualify or receive a specific limit. 5 9

What to Confirm in Umbrella and Excess Liability Insurance Quotes

  • Ask WithCoverage which underlying policies, limits, and premiums are included in its audit, and ask Zurich to identify the attachment point for each quoted A/B section. 4 9
  • Ask Zurich which industry and operating details determine eligibility for the proposed umbrella form. 9
