The Easy Excess platform allows appointed producers to quote, bind and issue excess liability policies designed for small commercial businesses in real time. Easy Excess liability coverage is available to 400 business classes and can be attached over general liability, liquor, auto and employer liability. Policies will be underwritten by Mt. Hawley Insurance, a surplus lines subsidiary of RLI Insurance Company that is A+ rated by A.M. Best. Easy Excess replaces Mt. Hawley’s existing eXS product.
