FAQ

E&S Commercial Property insurance gives extra protection beyond existing policy limits. It's crucial for entities needing more coverage than their primary policies offer, especially for businesses with significant property investments at risk from catastrophic events. This type of insurance is often used to protect high-value properties, managing potential losses effectively.

A commercial warehouse in a hurricane-prone area is an example. The high risk of wind or flood damage may require excess insurance to cover losses beyond primary policy limits.
