Farmers GroupSelect personal excess liability policies
A personal excess liability policy can provide additional coverage beyond the limits of your auto and home policies and a group discount is offered for employees of participating employers and members of participating groups. It’s an affordable way to keep an extraordinary event from becoming a financial life-changer.

What is the difference between an umbrella policy and the personal excess liability policy available through the Farmers GroupSelect program?
The two terms are often used interchangeably, but there are important differences. For example, excess liability insurance provides additional liability coverage on top of the underlying policies; but, generally, the coverage is limited to apply to the same risks of loss covered by the underlying policy and associated defense costs. Typically, only umbrella policies extend coverage to exposures excluded by the underlying policies. Uniquely, the Farmers GroupSelect PELP, as an excess liability policy, operates similarly to a typical umbrella policy providing coverage beyond the underlying home policy for exposures such as libel and slander. It is important to work with an agent to assess your needs and understand the differences when making purchasing decisions.
Additional benefits of an excess liability policy
As a policyholder, you’d have coverage for certain non-business liability claims not covered by your other Farmers GroupSelect policies, such as a defamation or libel/slander lawsuit. And, with a reputation for fast claim payments and insurance expertise, Farmers GroupSelect offers policyholders excellent customer service.
