Understanding Liability Limits
Liability limits define the maximum amount an insurance company will pay under a specific policy. For attorneys, understanding these limits is critical to developing effective case strategies and setting realistic expectations for clients.
Types of Liability Limits
Insurance policies typically feature per-occurrence limits and aggregate limits. Per-occurrence limits cap the payout for a single incident, while aggregate limits cap the total payout over the policy period.
Commercial policies may also include umbrella or excess coverage that extends beyond primary policy limits, potentially providing significantly more coverage for high-value claims.
How We Help
Our policy limit investigation services help attorneys identify all available coverage, including hidden umbrella policies and excess layers that could increase settlement potential.
