Excess or Umbrella Liability
Jewelers and manufacturers often need liability coverage in excess of
the limits provided by their primary General Liability policy.  Most entities
requiring proof of liability want a $1,000,000 limit, but some locations will
often require higher limits.  An Excess or Umbrella policy can provide an
insured with higher substantial limits. The policy covers liability for bodily
injury and property damage, medical payments, personal injury, and
products and completed works
