Protecting community association boards and leaders from the rising threat of lawsuits

Running a community association is challenging enough, but the real possibility of being sued for decisions and actions as a board member or officer raises the stakes to another level. With decades of experience working with these associations and 35,000 currently insured through us for various coverages, MSI’s Preferred Property Program team has gained a deep understanding of their unique exposures.  

We have developed a specialized directors and officers (D&O) liability policy for associations that provides $1 million to $3 million of admitted coverage on a primary or excess basis and is designed to work in conjunction with our umbrella program, both backed by a highly-rated global insurer.  

Our coverage goes well beyond directors and officers to include trustees, employees, committee members, volunteers, independent community association managers and builder developers. The policy features a broad definition of “claim,” covering both monetary and non-monetary damages, and includes employment practices liability with defense expense coverage for wage and hour claims, along with several other coverage enhancements. 

MSI delivers responsive service throughout the policy lifecycle, from quick underwriting review and quote turnaround to our dedicated claims team with decades of experience managing claims and litigation to achieve the best outcomes.  

Count on MSI for D&O and several other coverages designed to provide a blanket of protection around community associations.
