define: Excess and Surplus Lines

Specialty market companies that, though they are not licensed to write insurance in a given state, are allowed to do so under certain conditions. They generally charge more and coverage can be less broad. A homeowner may need to purchase a policy from these companies if licensed carriers refuse to underwrite a home due to high risk issues.
