You should ensure that any liability policy does not contain exclusions for normal coverage that are normal and customary in the standard liability form, such as
- assault and battery,
- animal attacks, and
- firearms, etc.
The maximum deductible amount, per occurrence, is the combined deductible for both the
- underlying general or professional liability, and
- excess/umbrella liability.
