Umbrella & Excess |
Introduction |
Our program for umbrella and excess liability insurance is your best protection against lawsuits for catastrophic injuries and property damage. We've been handling this class of insurance since 1966 and we are Canada's leading independent market for excess liability insurance. The Elliott umbrella program provides the most flexible combination of features available in Canada: - We offer $25 million in-house capacity for faster quotation turn-around, plus access to more than $100-million capacity.
- We write umbrella on a stand-alone basis - we don't need to write the primary covers to offer excess limits.
- We can write first-layer umbrella, excess umbrella, excess commercial general liability (GL), excess auto liability (AL) and excess errors and omissions (E&O) for certain classes.
- We can attach over $1-million primary GL or product liability covers. We can also handle tenants legal liability and other incidental attachments below $1 million.
- Our premiums and terms are always competitive. We want to quote your best umbrella business, but we won't shy away from U.S. or other problem risks either.
- Our program is mature, reliable and proven over time — we've been handling this class of business for nearly 35 years.
- We have the most experienced underwriting team in Canada.
- Broad policy wording, including sudden and accidental pollution cover (120-hour form or named perils form) is available for many classes.

The reporting condition of the policy requires that you report to the Company any incidents which might give rise to a claim, even though no such claim has yet been received.
Liability claims for this class of business may often follow months or years after the event itself. Failure to report an incident promptly may jeopardise the Insurers investigation and defence of a subsequent legal action. To avoid the risk that individual losses may be denied as a result of late reporting, we would encourage you to report all such incidents promptly.
Please note if any part of your policy is written on a claims-made form, the policy contains certain restrictions which limit the reporting of losses after the policy has expired.
