This material is intended as a general description of certain types of insurance coverages and services. Coverages and availability vary by state; exclusions and deductibles may apply. Please refer to your insurance policy or consult with your independent insurance advisor for information about coverages, terms and conditions.

Surplus lines insurers do not generally participate in state guaranty funds and insureds are therefore not protected by such funds.
