\"Condo<\/a>Condo Association Insurance<\/span><\/h1>\n

Condo Association Insurance<\/strong> can be provided on our Business Owner Policy (BOP) coverage form and is designed to provide comprehensive insurance for condominium association insurance requirements.\u00a0 We know that\u00a0Condo Association Insurance<\/strong> is likely to be an excellent policy choice for your needs.\u00a0 Condo Associations need coverage for the variety of property and liability exposures inherent in ownership and management of property but the Condo Association Insurance<\/strong> needs are not the same as those of a homeowner. Homeowners, for example, are responsible to insure all of their property. In Condo Association Insurance, in most cases there is a point where the unit owner is responsible for the insurance on their property. Every Master Agreement is different so knowing what the agreement says in vital in guiding your unit owners. In a nutshell, the collective responsibility of the Condo Association Insurance is different than the needs of unit owners and the bylaws govern what the Association is responsible to do. While there are some generalities in common from one development to another, in each cases we may need to more carefully consider the business operations, the Master Agreement and the bylaws to assure that coverage is adequate and appropriate for the risk. Our Condo Association Insurance <\/strong>Business Owner Insurance programs is a great option for most Associations when all the important factors are well understood and identified.<\/p>\n

Condo Association Insurance<\/strong>\u00a0under our BOP policy is designed for most residential and office condominium operations.\u00a0 The Business Owner Policy will typically include the following coverage and options when selected. Basic general liability is included automatically:<\/p>\n

Condo Association Insurance – Liability<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  • Bodily Injury and Property Damage, Premises Liability<\/li>\n
  • Personal Injury and Advertising Liability Coverage<\/li>\n
  • Employment Practices Liability Insurance<\/li>\n
  • Fellow Employee Coverage<\/li>\n
  • Host Liquor Liability<\/li>\n
  • Non-owned Watercraft<\/li>\n
  • Hired and Non-Owned Auto Liability<\/li>\n
  • Products and Completed Operations Liability<\/li>\n
  • Employee Benefits Liability<\/li>\n
  • Ohio Stop Gap Liability Insurance<\/li>\n
  • Cyber Insurance<\/li>\n
  • Directors and Officers (D&O) Liability<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Liability insurance protects against the tort of negligence in the Condo Association Insurance<\/strong> policy.\u00a0 The tort of negligence is a breach of duty\u00a0that is derived from common law principles that have evolved through decades and even centuries of recorded decisions about our relationships with one another including Condo Association Insurance <\/strong>clients.\u00a0 A duty is an obligation we owe to someone else.\u00a0 In essence, we owe each other the duty to protect them from the consequences of our actions and when someone is hurt or suffers harm to either body, property, or reputation, in our culture we boil down our grievances to a monetary settlement in most cases.\u00a0 In the case of the liability coverage provided in our Condo Association Insurance <\/strong>policy, we will pay for the benefit of a legal defense against the claims of injury or damage and we will also pay the amounts that become due to another because a finding of your negligence has occurred through legal proceedings or an agreement accomplished through the negotiations of your insurance carrier and the other people involved in the claim.\u00a0 This includes bodily injury and property damage as a result of events on the premises, through acts on and away from the work facilities, injuries caused by products, advertising injury, personal injuries other than bodily injury, hired and non-owned auto liability, and injury or damage caused due to computer intrusion and compromise when chosen.<\/p>\n

    Associations are governed by a Board of Directors and one area that every Condominium Association Insurance<\/strong> policy should consider and include is Condominium Directors and Officers (D&O) Liability insurance that is a necessary and needed extension of liability to protect the Board from claims of negligence, error, omission, and misuse of discretion. This coverage is typically provided on a Claims Made basis and this form of liability differs from the occurrence foundation of the provided general liability coverage.<\/p>\n

    Property for Condo Associations<\/strong><\/h2>\n
      \n
    • Buildings including multiple locations<\/li>\n
    • Business Personal Property used to service the property<\/li>\n
    • Building Limit Automatic Increase at the Time of Loss<\/li>\n
    • Valuable Papers and Records<\/li>\n
    • Accounts Receivable Coverage<\/li>\n
    • Computer Coverage and Cyber Crime<\/li>\n
    • Outdoor Signs\u2014Attached and Detached<\/li>\n
    • Building Ordinance or Law Coverage<\/li>\n

    • Business Income, including Extra Expense Coverage<\/li>\n
    • Coverage For Water Back-up<\/li>\n
    • Equipment Breakdown<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Property insurance is required to be included when a Condo Association policy is issued.\u00a0 We must include the business personal property, stock and fixtures because the\u00a0Condo Association Insurance<\/strong> policy is a package policy that requires both liability and property coverage be included.\u00a0 The reason the BOP policy is cost effective is the large package credits that are built into the premium charges.\u00a0 The business owner policy provides a lot of coverage in a tidy package and it is flexible enough to handle several locations and variety of situations for building, business personal property, computer and cyber crime needs, signs, coverage on or off premises, loss of business income, and break down of critical building mechanical systems that may alter your ability to operate. Larger Condo Associations may be equally served by our commercial package policy when property values exceed the thresholds built into our Condo Association Insurance<\/strong> business owner policy package.<\/p>\n

      Inland Marine and Special Property<\/strong><\/h2>\n

      (See IM Section for more Details)<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Mobile equipment and property that leaves the building is best covered with an inland marine endorsement that is designed for equipment that may float to where you actually do your work, like for example,\u00a0laptop computers that are taken to a local or business event.\u00a0 Certain equipment that is mobile in nature and leaves the business premises will find the broad coverage of the inland marine policy endorsement is best method of insurance for this type of property.<\/p>\n

      Umbrella Liability<\/strong><\/h2>\n

      Condo Association Insurance<\/strong> often includes an Umbrella liability policy as an additional limit of liability coverage. An Umbrella policy protects for damages that exceed primary policies and sometimes losses that were not covered in the primary policies but were not excluded by the language of the umbrella policy.\u00a0\u00a0Most carriers offering an\u00a0umbrella policy to cover over underlying policies they also write.\u00a0 It is good to know what is and isn\u2019t covered by the Umbrella so make sure to ask.<\/p>\n

      Crime and Fidelity<\/strong><\/h2>\n
        \n
      • Employee Theft<\/li>\n
      • Crime Inside<\/li>\n
      • Crime Outside<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        While you are busy operating and managing Association business, your Condo Association Insurance<\/strong> can be on guard for the loss of money through theft, robbery or burglary, or the dishonesty of an employee. These are losses that can cripple a business and tailoring the needs for crime and fidelity coverage can be done within the Business Owner Policy for Condo Association business needs.<\/p>\n

        Business Auto<\/strong><\/h2>\n

        (See business Auto Section for Details)<\/strong><\/p>\n

        When your Association operates Association-owned vehicles it is important to insure the vehicles with liability protection just like the premises and operations.\u00a0 Moreover, use of personal autos in the conduct of the Association business also exposes the Association to non-owned liability that can become costly.\u00a0 The business auto coverage is dealt with in great detail in the business auto section and Condo Association Insurance clients should also consult this section.\u00a0 Follow the link to this section for additional business auto information.<\/p>\n
