Commercial umbrella insurance sits above your commercial general liability, commercial auto, and EPLI policies, paying when underlying limits are exhausted. For Florida businesses with meaningful assets to protect (and Florida's litigious environment), a $1M underlying limit can disappear in a single serious claim. Hendrickson Insurance writes commercial umbrellas in $1M increments from $1M to $25M+ for businesses across Sarasota, Bradenton, Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Venice, and Lakewood Ranch.
When premises liability, products liability, or personal/advertising injury claims exhaust your $1M/$2M CGL limits, the umbrella picks up. Critical for Florida businesses with foot traffic, products, or significant operations.
When a commercial auto accident produces a judgment above your underlying auto liability ($1M CSL typical), the umbrella responds. Florida commercial auto verdicts can be substantial.
When a discrimination, harassment, or wrongful termination claim exceeds your EPLI limit, the umbrella pays the difference. Important for any Florida employer with significant payroll.
Some umbrellas provide first-dollar coverage for claims excluded from underlying policies (subject to a self-insured retention). Useful for unusual exposures not picked up elsewhere.
