Florida umbrella
above the rest.

Extra liability protection above your auto and home limits, engineered for Florida’s high-litigation environment. Real peace of mind for households with assets to protect.

What Florida umbrella insurance covers

Umbrella insurance is liability-only. It does not pay for your own injuries, your own property damage, or your own car repairs. What it does is protect your assets and future income against catastrophic liability claims that exceed your underlying policy limits.

Why Florida households should take umbrella seriously

Florida is a high-litigation environment

Florida has historically been one of the most lawsuit-heavy states in the country, particularly for auto liability. The same accident in another state may settle for less than it does in Florida courts.

Florida’s uninsured driver rate is the highest in the U.S.

Roughly 1 in 5 Florida drivers carries no insurance. If they cause a serious accident, you may need uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage on your umbrella to recover. Not all umbrellas include this — we make sure yours does if you need it.

Pools, boats, and waterfront property

Florida lifestyle exposures — pools, docks, boats, jet skis — meaningfully increase liability risk. Umbrella is often the most cost-effective way to address it.

Asset protection

Your auto and home policies protect you up to a limit. Beyond that limit, your assets — house, savings, investments, future wages — are exposed in a judgment. For most middle-class and high-net-worth Florida households, an umbrella is one of the highest-leverage insurance dollars you can spend.

Florida umbrella insurance FAQ

Common questions.

A common starting point is $1 million, with $2–5 million for households with significant assets. The right answer depends on net worth, income, and lifestyle exposures (pool, boat, teen drivers, rental property). Our advisors run the numbers with you.
$1 million of personal umbrella coverage typically costs $200–$500 per year, depending on your underlying policies, household profile, and exposure. It’s one of the lowest-cost-per-dollar-of-protection coverages available.
Even strong underlying limits can be exceeded in a serious claim. Umbrella is about catastrophic protection, not everyday coverage. For most Florida households with assets to protect, the answer is yes.
Often yes, but it depends on the carrier and how the rental is structured. Short-term rentals (Airbnb, VRBO) and multi-unit rentals may need a commercial umbrella. We review.
