Our policies are tailored to your industry, assets, and contracts so you stay protected when stakes are high.

Why Your Rhode Island Business Needs Umbrella Protection
Coverage that steps in when underlying policies fall short
Major claims can exceed the limits of general liability, commercial auto, or property insurance. Commercial umbrella insurance offers extra liability protection in cases such as:
- Large auto accidents
- Injuries on work sites or business premises
- Defamation or libel claims
- Product liability beyond standard policy limits
- Lawsuits related to rented premises or subcontractors
This type of policy helps protect your business savings, equipment, and future earnings.
Choosing the Right Umbrella Coverage & Limits in RI
Set limits based on risk, industry, and contract requirements
Key considerations for selecting coverage include:
- Size and value of your business assets
- Frequency and nature of risks in your industry
- Contractual obligations that require higher liability limits
- Underlying policy limits you already carry
Many Rhode Island businesses start with $1 million in umbrella coverage and increase limits from there based on exposures and contracts.
Complying with Rhode Island Insurance Laws and Best Practices
Ensure your umbrella policy meets legal and regulatory expectations
To avoid gaps or disputes, your business should ensure:
- The insurer is licensed by the Rhode Island Department of Business Regulation, Insurance Division
- Policy terms are clear on what underlying insurance must cover before the umbrella takes effect
- You maintain required underlying liability policies, such as general liability and commercial auto
You can also review state procurement requirements for insurance in business contracts via Rhode Island’s procurement statutes. They often set minimum insurance requirements for vendors or contractors.

A relative referred me to S&H as I had indicated a change was needed with my current agent of 32yrs. I connected with Finn Collins at S&H and explained my situation and what I was hoping to do. He asked a few questions, I provided my coverage sheets and he took it home from there. He mapped all my options as requested to the T, made a few suggestions on gaps in my current plan and provided options all of which were better than my current rates but with more coverage. Too good to be true? I inquired on how drivers with near perfect driving records and a 30+yr relationship with existing carrier can get better rates with new carrier and no history. He provided industry white papers explaining how....Who knew? I do now. Thank you S&H and Thank you Finn C! I am passing on your info to my contacts!

I’ve had my liability insurance for my small business with Segreve & Hall for many years. The customer service wasn’t always that fast. But now that I’m working with Michael Brandolini directly I’ve had a great experience. He always responds in a timely manner. Would recommend him to anymore looking for insurance.
Used S&H to insure my very first condo - although I've owned several homes, this is the first time in condo-land, and I was pretty unfamiliar with the process. Thomas helped walk me through all the options, and also the fact that we ended up closing 2.5 weeks later than anticipated! He also helped with quite a few special circumstances. Very happy and would work with them again!

My experience working with Segreve & Hall has been great. I recently purchased a car and while at dealership the salesperson said that we just had to wait for my insurence company to respond to finish the deal as he faxed the paperwork and it may take awhile. Few minutes later he responded saying wow that was the fastest ever getting information back. Thanks to Paulo Botelho and his speedy service I was in and out of the dealership in no time and the salesperson was also impressed!!

Frequently asked questions
Is commercial umbrella insurance required by Rhode Island law?
No law mandates umbrella insurance itself. However, many contracts, clients, or regulatory bodies require it especially in high‑risk industries or construction. It acts as an extra safeguard when base liability limits are reached.
Does umbrella insurance cover defense costs in riotous or accidental claims?
Yes. Most commercial umbrella policies cover legal defense costs, even if claims are litigated or denied. Make sure your policy clearly states defense costs are included and what limits apply once the underlying policy is exhausted.
How can I reduce the cost of umbrella insurance for my business in Rhode Island?
You may reduce your premium by:
- Maintaining strong loss control and safety programs
- Ensuring underlying liability limits are sufficient and well documented
- Bundling multiple lines of insurance under one insurer
- Implementing risk management practices in operations
Segreve & Hall helps you balance cost and coverage so you get solid protection without overpaying.
