78 Insurance Coverage and Bid Specifications Insurance contract should be reviewed:  When the association first obtains a policy.  When a change is made in the policy coverage during a term. When a policy is renewed.  When a loss occurs.

79 Insurance Coverage and Bid Specifications Parts of an Insurance Policy  Declaration Page  Forms  Endorsements  Optional Coverages  Common Policy Conditions  Glossaries

80 Insurance Coverage and Bid Specifications Insurance Folder  Assemble the insurance policies in the folder using the declaration pages as your guide  Use the declarations page as a “table of contents” to locate the separate forms included in a policy

81 Insurance Coverage and Bid Specifications  Think of an insurance policy as a reference document.  You don’t sit down and read it cover to cover as you would a book.  But you must be able to locate information in it—with or without your insurance agent’s help.

87 Steps to Take When You Find Out About Any Potential Loss 1.Protect life and property from further damage. 2.Keep detailed and accurate records. 3.Always tell the truth. 4.Avoid saying anything that suggests the association or management is responsible for what happened. Claims

88  Restrict records to a description of facts.  There are pros and cons to keeping records.  Their benefit is that they help recall and support your version of a situation.  They are a disadvantage if you have done something wrong—or failed to do what you should have done. Claims

89 How to Decide Whether to Report a Loss:  Property Loss  Employee Injury  Liability Loss Claims

90 Liability loss  An injured party’s prior condition is immaterial to the association’s liability for bodily injury—even though it may lead to greater injury and therefore greater liability.  If an allegedly injured party makes a claim against the association’s liability insurance directly to the insurance agent, the agent must report the claim to the carrier. Claims

91 How much to confer with agent:  Agent represents the carrier  May have to act on information you divulge  Vary in how they respond to privilege information  Know your agent  Explore issues in the abstract Claims

92 Self Insurance  If an association decides not to report an actual loss, it is deciding to retain financing of the loss—or to self-insure it.  Risk retention essentially is self- insurance. Claims

93 Sample Claims Report  Fact Section  Public Adjuster Claims

94 First Party/Third Party Coverage  When the association makes a claim under its own policy, it is a first-party claimant.  When the association makes a claim against another party’s liability insurance, it is a third-party claimant. Claims
