Liability & Construction
Excess layer of up to £30m (PL) and £10m (EL). Premiums start from £100.
Summary
This policy is most commonly used for excess Public/Products liability covers but may in addition include Employers Liability (but not in isolation).
In certain trades or industries the risks your clients are exposed to may exceed the standard limits on their current insurance policy. We can provide the additional limit of indemnity required. Excess layers of liability are inexpensive but the price of being under insured could be catastrophic to your clients business.
The Ogden discount rate was one of the most important changes that faced our industry. Since March 2017, the Ogden discount rate reduced from 2.5% to -0.75%.
Any product that provides cover for Liability (Employers Liability and Public & Products Liability) or Motor (including Motor Trade) will be affected. This also includes Property-led products such as Property Owners and Landlords.
Review your clients’ cover limits to ensure they have adequate levels of cover to account for higher claims payments in the future. Many policies have limits of £5M or £10M and with the new discount rate, these may need to be increased.
