Personal Umbrella Insurance in Florida
When a serious accident or lawsuit exhausts the limits on your auto, home, or boat policy, a personal umbrella steps in with millions of extra liability protection—often for pennies a day.
How an Umbrella Policy Works
Think of your existing policies as the first line of defense. If a claim exceeds those limits, umbrella coverage (usually sold in $1 million layers) pays the remaining legal fees, settlements, or judgments so your savings, property, and future earnings stay intact.
What an Umbrella Can Cover
| Liability Scenario | Typical Examples |
|---|---|
| Bodily injury | Multi-car collisions, a guest’s slip on your pool deck, dog bites, jet-ski accidents |
| Property damage | You cause a chain-reaction crash that totals several vehicles; your child’s baseball breaks a neighbor’s picture window |
| Legal defense costs | Attorney fees, court expenses, and verdicts—paid above and beyond the limits of your primary policy |
| Personal injury (non-physical) | Libel, slander, defamation, false arrest, or invasion of privacy claims |

Florida’s litigious climate and high medical costs mean even a moderate accident can top $300,000—far more than many base policies provide.
Cost & Coverage Basics
Starting price: about $150–$300 per year for the first $1 million
Limits available: commonly $1 million to $5 million (higher on request)
Rating factors: number of homes, autos, and recreational vehicles; driving record; prior claims; chosen limit
Because umbrella premiums are low relative to the protection offered, they’re one of the best value purchases in personal insurance.
