Taking to the water is a great way to get out in nature. Whether that be in the ocean, lakes, or rivers, we want to make sure your boat (and those onboard) stay safe and secure so you can focus on enjoying your time on the water. This PDF can help with updates done to your boat and how your insurance can change and keep you better protected.
Key take-aways:
- Get boat insurance. If you have a boat, you need insurance. Your home insurance coverage may cover some toys, but it doesn’t provide you the full range of coverage that you need. Make sure you are covered from accidents that could happen on your boat, theft, damages done to your boat, etc.
- Tuneup your boat. Making sure that everything is running safely and efficiently can save you money in repairs and little things like gasoline.
- Get (and maintain) safety training! Most boating accidents occur because operators don’t have regular training.
- Be careful of Carbon Monoxide poisoning. CO poisoning can cause serious or fatal injuries. Make sure everyone on the boat knows the symptoms of Carbon Monoxide poisoning.
- Ensure you and everyone you are with wears a life jacket. It may seem like a tedious detail, but it can really save your life or someone you love.
- If you do have a claim, contact your agent and see how we at King Risk Partners can help.

Sinkholes and Catastrophic Ground Collapse:
Did you know that Florida has the most sinkholes in the country? Are you covered if you have a sinkhole on your property? This PDF better explains what exactly a sinkhole is and how to make sure that you and your belongings are covered.
Key take-aways:
- A sinkhole is “a land form created by subsidence of soil, sediment, or rock as underlying strata are dissolved by groundwater. A sinkhole may form by collapse into subterranean voids created by dissolution (the dissolving) of limestone or dolostone or by the subsidence as these strata are dissolved.”
- Florida law does require that insurance companies cover these types of ground cover collapse. However, this does not mean that the damages caused are covered on your policy. Your damage has to meet a set of criteria in order for a general policy to cover it. These criteria are:
- The abrupt collapse of the ground cover.
- A depression in the ground cover clearly visible to the naked eye.
- Structural damage to the building including the foundation.
- The insured structure must be condemned and ordered to be vacated by the government agency authorized by law to issue such an order for the structure.
Hurricane Safety for Homeowners:
Florida is a beautiful, from the beaches and coasts to the Everglades and everything in between. However, there is also a good amount of danger that comes from living in paradise. Hurricanes and tropical storms are a serious issue for Floridians. This helpful PDF reminds you about the importance of updating your policy and staying safe when a hurricane hits.
Key take-aways:
- Know what your insurance covers and review your policy regularly, making sure that you know specifically what your policy does (or does not) cover.
- Flood damage caused by a hurricane is not covered by your policy, and, in order to keep your information safe, it may be best to have flood insurance coverage.
- Reduce damage before a hurricane hits. Making sure that your property is secure can help keep you from incuring more damages. Putting up your car up in a safe spot, removing debris that could fly away, and backing up all of your information are some great starting points to make sure that any unnecessary damages don’t occur
- Having an evacuation plan and avoiding washed out roads or electrical lines could help keep your family safe in the event of a major evacuation.
