Umbrella insurance
Extra liability protection when you need it most
A personal umbrella policy provides additional liability limits above the ones on your home, auto, boat, and other underlying policies. It can matter most when a claim would otherwise exceed those base limits.
What this coverage generally addresses
- Additional liability limits above underlying policies
- Legal defense costs, in many cases outside the limit
- Certain liability exposures not covered elsewhere
Common coverage considerations
- Required underlying limits on home, auto, and other policies
- Right umbrella limit for household assets and income
- Coverage territory and exclusions
Who may need it
- Homeowners with growing assets
- Families with young drivers
- Boat, RV, and motorcycle owners
- Landlords and rental-property owners
Florida-specific considerations
- Uninsured motorist exposure on Florida roads increases the value of higher limits
- Bundling with home and auto may simplify management
Watch for
Common mistakes or gaps
- No umbrella policy at all despite growing assets
- Underlying limits too low to meet umbrella requirements
- Missing endorsements for specific exposures
