Which is a typical underlying General Liability aggregate limit?

• A. GL Agg - $2M
• B. Occ - $2M
• C. PA - $2M
• D. EL - $500/$500/$500

Answer: (A)

The main idea is understanding how an umbrella or excess policy attaches to a base GL policy. The aggregate limit on a General Liability policy is the total amount the insurer will pay for covered GL claims during the policy period, not tied to a single incident. A common, practical level for that underlying GL aggregate is $2 million. This provides sufficient total capacity to cover multiple claims over the year without requiring an excessively high base limit. The other options reflect different concepts. An occurrence limit refers to the maximum the insurer will pay for a single incident, not the yearly total. The option labeled with a different line (PA) isn’t the GL aggregate. The last option describes Employers Liability limits, which are separate from the General Liability aggregate structure. So the typical underlying General Liability aggregate limit is $2 million.
