Vault Excess Liability
Where there are exciting travels, opportunities, and experiences, there will inevitably be risks for high net worth individuals. These unique risks may not be sufficiently covered under an existing insurance policy.
Having personal liability coverage protects you and your financial security from possible exposure. With Vault Excess Liability, you’re protected.
Protecting What Matters Most
Vault offers high net worth personal insurance and customized solutions for individuals and families. We’re not just insuring assets, we’re reducing risks with data-driven technology to protect what matters most – cherished moments, family memories, and priceless legacies.
The Right Coverage for When Things Go Wrong
Excess liability coverage is an often overlooked area of risk management and many individuals who have it are underinsured. Certain lifestyle factors can make you more at risk for liability.
Lifestyle factors that can increase your liability risks include:
- Owning a boat
- Entertaining and hosting at your home
- Employing household staff
- Having a swimming pool on your property
- Driving frequently, especially in states with a high rate of uninsured motorists
- Having a dog at your home
- Serving on a board for a not-for-profit organization
- Being at risk for lawsuits due to status, fame, or posting frequently online
- Traveling abroad often
What type of risks does excess liability protect you from?
After your primary coverage limits are exhausted on your home or auto policy, excess liability kicks in to cover in areas such as:
- Bodily injury, medical and liability claims due to accidents at your home, driving a vehicle, a dog bite, and other incidents
- Libel and slander lawsuits
- Property damage caused by you or a family member
- Wrongful employment lawsuits
- Liability due to actions as a not-for-profit board member

Maria* owns a swimming pool. During the summer months she often hosts gatherings.
Knowing the risks of having guests enjoy her pool, Maria decided it’d be best to look into excess liability coverage.
Her Vault agent helped her find the best coverage amount for her situation to protect her from liability. Her agent also recommended some risk mitigation tips, including a pool enclosure, installing a retractable safety cover to close the pool when not in use, limiting alcohol around the pool, and having proper safety tools such as life vests.
Maria implemented these steps to reduce her risks and could host again with greater peace of mind.
