Personal Umbrella Insurance

When a single lawsuit can cost more than your home and auto policies combined — umbrella coverage has your back.

How it works

An extra layer of protection above everything else

Umbrella insurance doesn't replace your existing policies — it extends them. When a claim exhausts your primary limits, umbrella picks up the rest.

You might need umbrella coverage if you...

Slip-and-fall accidents, dog bites, and pool incidents can result in lawsuits that far exceed standard homeowners liability limits.

A serious auto accident involving multiple people can easily exceed your auto policy's limits and put your assets at risk.

Savings, investments, retirement accounts, and future income can all be targeted in a lawsuit. Umbrella shields all of it.

Teen drivers significantly increase your liability exposure. An umbrella policy is one of the smartest moves for families with new drivers.

These are considered "attractive nuisances" by insurers — they increase your liability risk and make umbrella coverage essential.

Active on social media or involved in your community? Umbrella can cover libel and slander claims not covered by standard policies.

Common Questions

What does a personal umbrella policy cover?

It extends the liability limits of your home and auto policies. When a claim exhausts those primary limits, umbrella pays the rest — up to your umbrella limit. It can also cover certain claims not included in your primary policies, like libel or slander.

How much umbrella coverage do I need?

A good rule of thumb: your umbrella limit should at least equal your total net worth. Most people start with $1 million. If you have significant assets, income, or higher risk factors like a pool or teen drivers, $2–$3 million is worth considering.

Does umbrella coverage replace my home or auto policy?

No — it works on top of them. You must maintain qualifying underlying policies (home, auto, etc.) for an umbrella policy to be in effect. The umbrella only activates once those primary limits are fully exhausted.

How much does a personal umbrella policy cost in Florida?

Most people pay between $150–$300 per year for $1 million in coverage — making it one of the most cost-effective policies available. The exact rate depends on your underlying coverage, assets, and risk profile.

Do I need umbrella insurance if I'm renting?

Yes — umbrella coverage isn't just for homeowners. If you rent, your umbrella policy sits above your renters and auto policies. If you cause a serious accident or someone sues you for a large amount, umbrella protects your savings and future income.
