As government regulations evolve and the liabilities tied to condominium ownership become more complex, having condo association insurance is essential. In fact, local bylaws mandate that condo associations carry insurance to protect the community from lawsuits and other financial risks.

Risk Management for Condo Associations

Risk management is the process by which an insurance underwriter crafts tailored policies and implements loss control measures. These strategies help minimize the risk of significant financial losses for the condominium association. Selecting the right insurance underwriter is crucial to ensuring that your condo association is properly protected and can navigate potential financial challenges.
 

What Does Condo Association Insurance Cover?

Condo association insurance typically covers a range of losses that can affect your property and operations, including:

​

Property Losses

Coverage for damage or destruction caused by various calamities such as theft, fire, wind, flood, and natural disasters like hurricanes, tornadoes, or hail storms.

​

Liability Losses
Protection against personal injuries or property damage to third parties, especially in common areas of the condominium, where accidents may occur.

​

Personnel Losses
Protection against injuries sustained by employees while working for the condo association, as well as claims related to improper employment practices, such as wrongful termination or harassment.

​

By understanding the different types of risks your condo association faces, you can better tailor your insurance coverage to safeguard your property, finances, and reputation.

How do I find the right condo association insurance?
 

Insurance plays a critical role in protecting not only the condo association itself but also the residents within it. While individual residents are typically responsible for insuring their personal property, condo associations are responsible for the common areas and overall structure. Given the varying rules and responsibilities from one condo association to another, it’s essential to ask the right questions to ensure that your coverage is adequate.
