Oregon Umbrella and Excess Liability Guide

ORS 806.070 sets the minimum payment schedule used for an insurance policy under ORS 806.080, for a self-insured person, and for the minimum payment of a judgment: $25,000 for bodily injury or death of one person, $50,000 for two or more persons, and $20,000 for property of others. ORS 31.610 then states each defendant’s several share as the total damages found by the trier of fact, with no reduction for settlements or contribution, multiplied by that person’s percentage of fault. Within one year after the judgment is final, the court reallocates an uncollectible share among the other parties, including any fault allocated to the claimant. The umbrella should sit above the $25,000/$50,000/$20,000 schedule, and the excess exposure can grow if another party’s share is later reallocated.

What Is Umbrella and Excess Liability Insurance?

Umbrella or excess insurance adds liability limits above the policies named in the quote after a covered claim exhausts their limits. It may fit if a contract sets higher limits; check which primary policies are listed and any gaps between them. Read the national Umbrella and excess liability guide.

Oregon Umbrella and Excess Liability Insurance Requirements

Requirement	Details
Financial-responsibility payment schedule	ORS 806.070(2) sets $25,000 for bodily injury or death of one person, $50,000 for two or more persons, and $20,000 for injury to or destruction of property of others. An insurance policy described in ORS 806.080 must provide at least these payments to qualify under ORS 806.060. A self-insured person under ORS 806.130 must agree to pay on the same schedule. This is not an umbrella minimum. ¹

What to Watch for With Umbrella and Excess Liability in Oregon

The same schedule does three jobs
Section 806.070(1) uses the schedule as the minimum payments an insurance policy must cover to qualify as financial responsibility, as the amount a self-insured person must agree to pay, and as the minimum required payment of a judgment for ORS 809.130 and 809.415. A certificate that shows only a combined single limit still has to be checked against each of the three scheduled amounts. ¹
A defendant’s several share is not reduced by what others already paid
ORS 31.610 calculates each person’s share as total damages found by the trier of fact, with no reduction for amounts paid in settlement or by contribution, multiplied by that person’s fault percentage. A co-defendant’s settlement does not, under that sentence, shrink the insured’s several dollar share. The excess attachment point is still the scheduled underlying limit, not the other defendant’s payment. ²
An uncollectible share can be reallocated for a year
Subsection (3) allows a motion not later than one year after the judgment becomes final by lapse of the time for appeal or after appellate review. If a share is uncollectible, the court reallocates it on the basis of each party’s fault percentage, and the claimant’s share of that reallocation is based on the claimant’s own fault percentage. Keep the excess file open through that year if a co-defendant looks unable to pay. ²

Providers With Oregon License Records

These providers publish a national listing for Umbrella and excess liability; the license records below name the licensed entities and roles. Some records rely on company-reported information rather than independent regulator verification. A national listing does not confirm the product is available in Oregon. Check the regulator’s license lookup and confirm state availability for your business when requesting a quote.

TechInsurance’s current licensing page names Specialty Program Group LLC / SPG Insurance Solutions and lists state license numbers, but labels Rhode Island “Individual licenses” rather than identifying a license for the named agency. RI is omitted because this disclosure does not establish agency authority there; this is a search limitation, not an assertion that the company is unlicensed. The remaining state entries are company-reported and are not an insurance product availability map. ¹⁵

Vouch’s licenses page, effective January 16, 2025, lists producer licenses in all 50 states and DC. Its separate surplus-lines table includes Idaho number 870820, while a footnote says Georgia and Idaho do not issue agency-level surplus-lines licenses. Because those statements conflict for Idaho, this record keeps Idaho producer-only and does not treat the table number as established agency surplus-lines authority. The page is company-reported and does not establish product availability. ¹⁶
