Customized Insurance for Community Associations
Types of Claims
Community association boards and property managers can be sued over a staggering variety of sophisticated liability issues, including allegations related to:
- Housing discrimination
- Employment discrimination
- Architectural disputes
- Inadequate reserves
- Negligence
- Third-party breach of contract
- Breach of or change in covenants, conditions & restrictions
- Assessments
- Liens
- Defamation
- Breach of fiduciary duty
- Declaratory or injunctive relief actions
Unfortunately, community associations can also be vulnerable to criminal losses such as embezzlement, check forgery, equipment theft and so on. The truth is that 80% of U.S. workplace crime is carried out by employees, and crimes from “trusted insiders” can go undetected for year.
