Our office is closed for Memorial Day while our team enjoys some family time, grilled hot dogs, and tries not to explain homeowners' insurance around the BBQ.

We will reopen Tuesday, May 26th, during normal business hours.

If you need immediate assistance, please contact your insurance carrier directly.

From all of us at Wilcox Family Insurance, thank you to the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

Why Personal Umbrella Liability Matters and How It Protects Your Assets 

Understanding the value of personal umbrella liability insurance is crucial for anyone seeking to protect their finances in the event of an unexpected loss.

At Wilcox Family Insurance Company, we believe that protecting your assets goes beyond standard insurance policies. That’s where a personal umbrella policy comes in, offering an extra layer of liability protection when you need it most.

What Is Personal Umbrella Liability Insurance?

A personal umbrella policy can provide additional liability coverage above the limits of your existing home, auto, boat, or other insurance policies. If you’re involved in a serious accident or face a costly lawsuit, your standard policies may only cover up to a certain amount.

Once those limits are reached, you could be responsible for paying the remaining costs out of pocket. In these situations, your umbrella policy can step in to cover the excess.

Who Should Consider a Personal Umbrella Policy?

Our team recommends umbrella insurance for:

  • Homeowners who want to insure their property
  • Drivers seeking extra liability coverage
  • Individuals with significant assets or income
  • Anyone who hosts gatherings, owns a pool, or has pets

How Wilcox Family Insurance Company Can Help

We work closely with our clients to assess their unique risks and recommend the right level of umbrella liability protection. Our team understands Florida’s insurance landscape and can help you find a policy that fits your needs and budget. We can assist you if you need to file a claim and offer support as your circumstances change.

 

Contact Wilcox Family Insurance Company today to discuss your personal umbrella insurance options and get a personalized quote.
