Types Of Condo Association Insurance Coverage
Condo associations need comprehensive insurance coverage to handle various risks. Below are the essential types of coverage:
- Property coverage: Protects the building structures and common areas, including roofs, walls, elevators and lobbies.
- General liability protection: Covers injuries in common areas, such as hallways, pools and parking lots.
- Directors and officers (D&O) liability: Protects board members from personal liability for their decisions and actions.
- Workers’ compensation: Provides coverage for workers or contractors who are injured while performing duties for the association.
- Fidelity/crime insurance: Covers losses due to fraudulent or dishonest actions by employees or board members.
- Flood and specialized disaster coverage: Protects against damage from flooding or disasters not included in basic policies.
These types of coverage help protect the association’s financial health, and ensure that repairs and damages are addressed promptly.
Common Hail Damage To Condos
In Wisconsin, hailstorms have caused significant damage to many condo associations. Common hail damage includes:
- Roof damage
- Siding and exterior wall damage
- Window and door damage
- Water intrusion risks
It is important to report damage quickly and document everything for an insurance claim.
Bad Faith Warning Signs In Hail Damage Claims
If your insurance claim for hail damage is delayed, denied or undervalued, your insurance company may be acting in bad faith. Look for these warning signs:
- Delays in processing your claim
- Improper denial of a legitimate claim
- Offers lower than the actual repair costs
If you notice any of these signs, it is important to seek legal help. An attorney can help you pursue a fair settlement.
