GROUP PERSONAL EXCESS COVERAGE
This part of your Group Personal Excess Liability Policy provides you or a family member with liability coverage in excess of your underlying insurance anywhere in the world unless stated otherwise or an exclusion applies.
Payment for a Loss
Amount of coverage
The amount of coverage for liability is shown in the Coverage Summary. We will pay on your behalf up to that amount for covered damages from any one occurrence, regardless of how many claims, homes, vehicles, watercraft, or people are involved in the occurrence.
Any costs we pay for legal expenses (see Defense coverages) are in addition to the amount of coverage.
Underlying Insurance
We will pay only for covered damages in excess of all underlying insurance covering those damages, even if the underlying coverage is for more than the minimum amount.
"Underlying insurance" includes all liability coverage that applies to the covered damages, except for other insurance purchased in excess of this policy.
Required primary underlying insurance
Regardless of whatever other primary underlying insurance may be available in the event of a claim or loss, it is a condition of your policy that you and your family members must maintain in full effect primary underlying liability insurance of the types and in at least the amounts set forth below unless a different amount is shown in your Coverage Summary, covering your personal liability and to the extent you or a family member have such liability exposures, all vehicles and watercraft you or your family members own, or rent for longer than 60 days, or have furnished for longer than 60 days, as follows:
Personal liability(homeowners) for personal injury and property damage in the minimum amount of $300,000 each occurrence.
We cover damages for bodily injury and property damage a covered person is legally entitled to receive from the owner or operator of an uninsured motorized/underinsured motorized land vehicle. We cover these damages in excess of the underlying insurance or the Required Primary Underlying Insurance, whichever is greater, if they are caused by an occurrence during the policy period, unless otherwise stated.
Amount of coverage. The maximum amount of excess uninsured motorists/underinsure d motorists protection available for any one occurrence is the excess uninsured motorists/underinsure d motorists protection amount shown in the Coverage Summary regardless of the number of vehicles covered by the Required Primary Underlying Insurance. We will not pay more than this amount in any one occurrence for covered damages regardless of how many claims, vehicles or people are involved in the occurrence. This coverage will follow form.
Uninsured motorists/underinsured motorists protection arbitration
If we and a covered person disagree whether that person is legally entitled to recover damages from the owner or operator of an uninsured motor vehicle/underinsured motor vehicle, or do not agree as to the amount of damages, either party may make a written demand for arbitration. In this event, each party will select an arbitrator. The two arbitrators will select a third. If they cannot agree on a third arbitrator within 45 days, either may request that the arbitration be submitted to the American Arbitration Association. When the covered person's recovery exceeds the minimum limit specified in the applicable jurisdiction's financial responsibility law, each party will pay the expenses it incurs, and bear the expenses of the third arbitrator equally. Otherwise, we will bear all the expenses of the arbitration.
Unless both parties agree otherwise, arbitration will take place in the county and state in which the covered person lives. Local rules of law as to procedure and evidence will apply. A decision agreed to by two arbitrators will be binding unless the recovery amount for bodily injury exceeds the minimum limit specified by the applicable jurisdiction's financial responsibility law. If the amount exceeds that limit, either party may demand the right to a trial. This demand must be made within 60 days of the arbitrator's decision. If this demand is not made, the amount of damages agreed to by the arbitrators will be binding.
Uninsured/underinsured liability coverage








This coverage is in effect only if excess uninsured motorists/underinsured motorists protection is shown in the Coverage Summary.
We cover up to a maximum of $1 million for bodily injury and personal injury you or a family member are legally entitled to receive from an uninsured or underinsured negligent person caused by an occurrence, unless stated otherwise or an exclusion applies. We will not pay more than this amount for covered damages from any one occurrence, regardless of how many claims or people are involved in the occurrence. This coverage is excess over the total of any other collectible insurance that covers damages from the occurrence.
All the exclusions under the Group Personal Excess Liability Coverage are applicable to this Uninsured/underinsured liability coverage, and where used, the definition of you or a family member is extended to include negligent person. This coverage also does not apply to damages from an occurrence arising out of any business activities; any activities involving business property or the sale or transfer of property; or the ownership, maintenance, use, loading, unloading, or towing of any motor vehicle, watercraft, or aircraft.
