Wright Flood and Southern Oak announced a partnership to market flood insurance policies under the Southern Oak Flood Insurance private label available to complement Southern Oak property policies.

St. Petersburg, Florida – Wright Flood, the federal flood insurance market share leader in both Florida and the nation, announced today a partnership with Florida, resident-owned property insurer, Southern Oak, a residential insurer since 2004, to market Southern Oak Flood Insurance. 

Wright Flood’s industry-leading expertise in flood claims management and 30 year policy processing experience will now serve Southern Oak Flood Insurance policyholders across Florida.   “Flood insurance is Wright Flood’s only insurance product.   At Wright Flood, we pay claims without the potential for conflict with any other property coverage,” said Henry Neal Conolly, President. “Wright Flood employs the largest full time flood claims staff in the industry, to adjust and timely pay losses."  Within the first 90 days after Superstorm Sandy, Wright Flood closed or advanced payment to nearly 70% of its 20,000 claimants; while the flood industry was generally criticized for a closed claim rate that reportedly reached just 30%.

“As Floridians, our policyholders understand the need for flood insurance and pairing with Wright Flood strengthens the Southern Oak brand in the Florida marketplace.  Wright Flood’s claims reputation will serve our policyholders well, “said Tony A. Loughman, President, Southern Oak Insurance Company.
