Liability and medical coverage
Most standard homeowner’s policy usually comes with medical and liability coverage. For example a guest went to your condo and got injured the insurance policy will cover the medical treatment up to specified amount. If your visitor filed a case liability case against you, your insurance provider will cover for the attorney’s fees and court settlement. If you have high net worth, you might want to consider increasing your coverage to ensure that your liability insurance extends to the common parts of the condominium.The exact cost of your condo insurance policy depends on how large and how valuable your assets are and what asnets you wish to insure. Some insurance agencies consider the HO-6 policies as low risk, which means that the policy holder do not have to pay a lot out on out of pocket deductible in cases of damage and lawsuits. Master insurance plans only covers general lawsuits that protects the condominium association and not the condominium owner per say. The owner will be partially liable for legal damages, if it exceeds the master insurance limits. In such cases, the HO-6 can provide legal aid and cash assistance during devastating lawsuits.
