Excess Layer Insurance - Excess of Loss - Citynet Insurance Brokers

EXCESS OF LOSS

Excess Layer Insurance, also known as Excess of Loss, is a top-up liability cover designed for a wide range of small, medium and large businesses to provide increased limits of liability over the primary insurance cover. Citynet has the expertise to work with you across a broad range of industries.

The impact of Ogden Rate since 2007, has significantly increased the potential for higher awards to be made which results in an increased claim spend, therefore, many businesses are now increasing their limits of indemnity, either for their own peace of mind or because of contractual obligations.

The need to ensure that a business of any size has sufficient levels of liability cover has never been greater. Even a relatively small incident can result in a large claim for loss that could bring a business’s financial stability into question.
