CLAIMS ISSUES

BRUSH RISK

With California suffering major fires, you need a broker that can find the coverage you need, regardless of your proximity to brush.

UPDATED REPLACEMENT COSTS

Many people forget to update their insurance coverage and could be underinsured by 50%. We will help make sure everything is covered to current building and labor pricing.

FAQ

If you don’t find an answer to your question, please feel free to contact us!

If a tenant or guest were to slip and fall in the complex and sustain an injury, what type of Insurance would cover the incident?

General Liability. In a common area, or even inside a unit, an injury might result in a lawsuit against the property owner. The general liability policy would provide coverage for these claims and would aid in defending them in court. We also recommend umbrella coverage.

How do I make sure I have enough coverage in case of a fire?

We run an annual replacement cost estimator with current building values to determine the coverage amount you need. We also make sure to have loss of rent coverage that meets your current rental rates, we like to cover up to 2 years to allow for the time to develop and rebuild. Checking on your replacement cost annually is very important, we have seen apartment owners carry replacement cost rates from 20 years ago where they are insured for half of the cost to rebuild.

What can I do if my carrier is cancelling me for brush risk?

With the frequency of fires in California, insurance carriers are tightening up on fire insurance, especially in brush areas. We use our knowledge of the insurance marketplace to find you the best solution as each year carriers enter and exit the market. Each year we check to see if better options become available.

If my apartment complex has claims how do I get insured?

Claims can happen as buildings get older and pipes deteriorate. We recommend having a contractor inspect the property regularly and fix any issues ahead of time. If you do have claims, we will approach the insurance markets that will consider you and negotiate on your behalf to keep the price reasonable.

Can you cover me if a tenant sues for discrimination or American Disabilities Act compliance?

Yes, we can get third party EPLI coverage to help defend you in these type of cases.

Can you cover a wrongful eviction lawsuit?

Yes we are seeing more wrongful eviction lawsuits with COVID19 and we do have coverage that can defend you in this type of situation. We read each policy closely to offer you coverage that best fits your needs.
