Read the words around the limit

Limits and deductibles

Ask how limits apply, whether sublimits exist, and when a deductible or retention is your responsibility. Use the actual policy language in the discussion.

Exclusions

Ask which activities or events are excluded and how endorsements change the base wording. Do not assume a general description means every loss is covered.

Timing

Clarify the policy period, reporting requirements, and any relevant retroactive dates with your professional. Different coverage types can treat timing differently.

Written answers

Keep the policy documents and written explanations. This guide is a prompt for questions, not an interpretation of your individual coverage.

Keep the conversation grounded.
