What is E&S Lines insurance?

Excess and Surplus Lines—also known as “E&S”—insurance is designed for businesses with uniquely high risks that the traditional insurance market will not cover. The types of businesses that may need excess and surplus lines are in industries like construction, building, roofing, and commercial transportation. 

Because E&S policies are written out-of-state, they have more flexibility than in-state policies. Though that means companies can obtain coverage for higher risks, they will lack certain in-state protections if the E&S insurer become insolvent or unable to continue coverage

The scenarios described herein are offered only as examples. Coverage depends on the actual facts of each case and the terms, conditions and exclusions of each individual policy. Anyone interested in the above product(s) should request a copy of the standard form of policy for a description of the scope and limitations of coverage.
