Why Jacksonville Families Trust Augustyniak Insurance
Augustyniak Insurance Group was founded in 2005 by Mike Augustyniak, a former NY Jets running back who spent 15 years as a top-tier agency sales manager for Allstate and Nationwide before starting this agency.
Today, the agency is led by Susan Augustyniak, CIC, who spent a decade at Nationwide as a commercial underwriter, claims adjuster, large loss adjuster, and district sales manager before joining the agency in 2008.
Our personal lines team is led by Kim Kowalik, a former USAA claims and sales professional who knows firsthand what happens when coverage falls short, and uses that experience in every policy she builds.
That carrier-side experience is what sets us apart. Susan and our team know how insurance companies price policies, evaluate risk, and handle claims — and we use that knowledge to help identify gaps in your coverage, explain your options in plain language, and guide you toward the right protection for your situation.
Since 2005, we've helped thousands of clients across Florida — from Mandarin, Ponte Vedra, and the Beaches to St. Johns County, Orange Park, and communities statewide. We're proud to be one of the highest-rated independent insurance agencies in Florida with over 2,250 five-star Google reviews and recognized by ThreeBestRated.com for 11 consecutive years.
We offer personal coverage, including homeowners, auto, flood, motorcycle, boat, renters, and umbrella insurance— plus life insurance options like term, whole life, and mortgage protection. For businesses, we handle commercial auto, workers' comp, general liability, and BOP business owners packages.
When you need to file a claim, our team communicates directly with the carrier on your behalf — so you're never left figuring it out alone.
