AXIS U.S. Insurance is a growing source of umbrella and excess liability coverage for many business risks that cannot be insured through the standard market. Our E&S Umbrella and Excess unit provides coverage for an extensive array of specialty accounts on a surplus lines basis through AXIS-appointed wholesale brokers across the nation.

AXIS E&S Umbrella and Excess excels at structuring coverage for non-standard business and hard-to-place risks, including products manufacturers, commercial construction, oil and gas, transportation, public entities, not-for-profit organizations, premises/habitational exposures and other business segments.

We are best described as a lead umbrella market, but we also provide low to mid-level excess liability. Coverage may be written over AXIS primary General Liability placements; however, our emphasis is on the pursuit of unsupported umbrella and excess liability business written over other acceptable underlying programs.

With Umbrella Liability, Excess Liability and Special Excess Liability coverages, we offer limits of up to $25 million. The AXIS E&S Umbrella and Excess unit has underwriters located in Atlanta, New York City and Los  Angeles who handle business nationally.
