When a claim exceeds your primary policy limits, umbrella coverage picks up the rest. OakLine helps Florida businesses add an extra layer of protection against catastrophic losses.
A Commercial Umbrella policy sits on top of your existing General Liability, Commercial Auto, and Workers' Comp policies. When a claim is large enough to exceed those limits, your umbrella policy kicks in and covers the difference.

A Commercial Umbrella extends the liability limits of your underlying policies — typically General Liability, Commercial Auto, and Workers' Comp. When a claim exhausts those primary limits, umbrella coverage kicks in and pays the rest up to the umbrella limit. It can also provide coverage for certain claims not covered by your primary policies.
Most small businesses carry $1–$5 million in umbrella coverage. The right amount depends on your industry, assets, and risk exposure. High-risk businesses like contractors and trucking companies often need more. A good rule of thumb — your umbrella limit should at least equal the total value of your business assets.
No — umbrella coverage works on top of your existing policies, not instead of them. You must have underlying policies like General Liability and Commercial Auto in place first. The umbrella only activates once those primary limits are exhausted.
Your umbrella policy triggers when a single claim exceeds the limits of your primary policy. For example, if you have $1 million in General Liability and face a $3 million lawsuit, your umbrella covers the remaining $2 million up to your umbrella limit.
Most businesses pay between $500–$1,500 per year for $1 million in umbrella coverage — making it one of the most cost-effective ways to significantly increase your protection. Higher limits and higher-risk industries will cost more. Get a free quote and we'll find you the best rate.
