Burns & Wilcox Canada Provides Added Protection with Commercial Umbrella Coverage

Product provides coverage beyond primary policy for commercial clients

Toronto, ON [August 2, 2013] Burns & Wilcox Canada today announced its comprehensive Commercial Umbrella Coverage product offering, including more than 600 eligible classes. Providing additional protection where existing coverage stops, Commercial Umbrella Coverage protects companies’ profits in the event of a catastrophe.

 “In some situations the amount of protection from a general policy is not enough to provide full financial protection for commercial clients. This leaves businesses exposed to financial risk, even when they think they have done their due diligence for protection,” said Gary Hirst, National Director, Burns & Wilcox Canada. “Our specialty risk experts can help identify clients open to this type of risk and deliver a customized solution to protect their business assets.”

Burns & Wilcox Canada offers Commercial Umbrella Coverage with liability limits up to $50 million with low minimum premiums and attachment points of $2 million / $1 million. The product also allows for an excess liability form.

Coverage is available for a range of business classes including, but not limited to, Building and premises, Construction, Habitational, Mercantile, Childcare, Manufacturing, Hospitality and more.   

When clients work with Burns & Wilcox Canada, they have the confidence in knowing they have the security of an A.M. Best “A” rated carrier. Burns & Wilcox Canada is also proud to provide its clients with fast quotes, competitive pricing and quick binder confirmation.
