Umbrella Coverage for Manufactured Home Community Associations
Chapman Insurance Group wants to make sure that your Community Association has adequate coverage which is why we offer umbrella insurance.
Three simple options
What is Umbrella Insurance?
Umbrella insurance is essentially extra coverage. If coverage in another policy that you have doesn’t protect you fully, umbrella insurance extends beyond those limits and can cover you for injuries, property damage, certain lawsuits, and situations that involve the Community Associations’ liability.
How Does It Work?
Having an umbrella insurance policy protects you in these two ways:
- When the limits of your Community Association’s General Liability and Directors and Officers Liability are exceeded, umbrella insurance provides excess/extra coverage.
- Umbrella insurance provides the additional coverage for claims such as false arrest, libel, slander, and coverage on other property that you own as an association.
What Does It Cover?
When one of your primary insurance policies reaches its limit of coverage your umbrella insurance will pick up the from that point. In most cases, umbrella insurance covers:
- Injuries
- Property damage
- Most Lawsuits
- Situations that involve Directors and Officers personally
You might think that you don’t need umbrella insurance because you already have effective General Liability and Directors and Officers. But no matter how good your policies are, umbrella coverage goes above and beyond those.
Coverage Examples
Umbrella Coverage for most Community Associations is purchased between $5,000,000 and $100,000,000. This of course is unique for each association based on the need and also the number of units within a community. Here are some examples of claims where the association Umbrella will step in and provide coverage above the primary policies.
- A car accident where the association is at fault and the claim is over $1,000,000
- A fatality occurs on association property
- A Director or Officer fails to renew the property insurance and a tornado causes significant damage to the community.
- Proper Maintenance or replacement of a sprinkler system was not done and it results in a $2.5 mil water loss to a high rise community
Additional coverage is provided if you’re sued for:
- Slander
- Libel
- False arrest
- Malicious prosecution
- Shock/mental anguish
