Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between “per occurrence” and “aggregate” liability limits?

Per-occurrence and aggregate limits both refer to the maximum payout of an insurance policy, but in different settings.
Per-occurrence limits are the maximum amount a policy will pay for any one incident or claim. Aggregate limits are the maximum amount that will be paid over the duration of the policy.
