Condo Insurance for Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Naples and all of Southwest Florida

A Condominium Unit Owners insurance policy picks up coverage for a unit where the condominium association master policy leaves off. An association typically insures the building and other common areas. As a condo unit owner, you are responsible for the interior of your individual unit. Every association’s insurance policy is different regarding what each unit owner is responsible for, so it is important to review your association master policy and condo by-laws carefully.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience working with our insurance representative David during a recent renewal process for our condominium association. He handled everything professionally and efficiently. He was very helpful and very responsive.
He turned around a competitive quote very quickly and ultimately secured coverage that came in significantly lower than our previous year’s premium, without compromising on service.
We’d also like to recognize Dawn in the office, who was incredibly helpful throughout the process. She was responsive, supportive, and went above and beyond helping us with additional information, which we greatly appreciated.

Overall, the team demonstrated professionalism, responsiveness, and integrity. Highly recommend.”

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Megan is absolutely outstanding.  I was speaking with agents from 6 other insurance brokers -- she is far, far better than all of them.  Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable, Megan is very responsive.  I called her about an umbrella policy through my auto insurance.  She needed a copy of my homeowner policy with another insurance company to add my house to the umbrella.  She went the extra step to let me know that the cost of my homeowner policy was too high and worked with me to save me over $4,000 per year on my homeowner insurance.  She should be your first call for any insurance needs you may have.

Property Protection

Your condo insurance policy, also known as a HO-6 is typically written on a special form or “all risk” basis. A special form policy insures against all perils unless they are specifically excluded in the policy.

Some of these excluded perils are:

Flood

Earth movement

Ordinance or law (some coverage may be provided in your policy)

Water damage (sudden and accidental water damage is automatically included)

Power failure

Neglect

War

Nuclear hazard

Intentional loss

Government action

Collapse (some coverage may be provided in your policy)

Mold, fungus, or wet Rot (some coverage may be provided in your policy)

Birds, vermin, rodents, or insects

Wear and tear, or deterioration

It’s important that you review your policy annually with your Lott & Gaylor representative to ensure that your possessions are adequately protected.

Personal Liability & Umbrella Protection

Condo Liability features typically include:

Personal liability for you, your spouse, relatives living with you and persons under 21 in your care

Protection against claims you’re legally obligated to pay

Payment of the cost of defending claims against you

Pet Liability

Medical expenses of others

Accidental death benefits

A personal umbrella is a policy that primarily affords an additional layer of protection over your primary auto, boat and home, condo or renters insurance. The umbrella is typically sold in increments of one million dollars and the availability may be dependent upon the limit of underlying coverage.

In practice a true umbrella can actually become the primary source of coverage when there is no coverage on the underlying policy. These may include, but are not limited to:

Libel

Slander

False Arrest

Invasion of Privacy

Typically you need personal property and liability coverage for your condo unit. Within these broad categories are subsets of coverage that form a comprehensive protection plan and include the following:

Coverage A: Building Property

This portion of the policy insures against losses to your real property, including alterations and special additions that you may be responsible for. Be aware however that many improvements (i.e. fixtures & equipment) may be covered under your associations master property policy. You should always refer to your associations documents when determining responsibility.

Coverage B: Personal Property

This area of a condo insurance policy insures against losses to your units contents like furniture, electronics and clothing.
Additionally, this coverage may extend beyond your condo unit and cover your personal property when you are away from your condo.

Coverage C: Loss of Use

In the event of a loss due to a covered peril that severely damages your unit, you may need a temporary place to stay while repairs are being made. This coverage provides a set monetary limit (dollar value) or be limited to your actual costs for a specified period of time.
This coverage may also provide for increases in cost to maintain your standard of living. This is an important limit that should be reviewed with your Lott & Gaylor representative annually to ensure adequate coverage.

Coverage D: Loss Assessment

Loss Assessment coverage is a coverage that is uniquely designed for unit owners that belong to condo associations. This portion of the policy is designed to pay for unforeseen assessments that your association may impose upon its members. The amount of coverage however must be determined by you, so it is vital that you speak with your Lott & Gaylor representative to ensure you are purchasing an appropriate amount of coverage.
Examples of reasons your association could assess you are:
Major windstorm damage to the association buildings that is not fully covered by the associations insurance.
An injury on the common association premises (i.e. Pool) that results in a court award higher than the limit of liability carried by the association.

Coverage E: Personal Liability

Liability coverage protects you for claims or law suits in which others make against you or your resident family members. These claims or suits may be for bodily injury or property damage that may or may not have occurred at your condo.
In addition to any settlement costs that a court awards, this coverage also may pay for court fees and defense costs – even if the claims are merit-less.
It is important that you speak with your Lott & Gaylor representative and select a limit of liability high enough to protect your assets.
If you need more protection than your condo unit provides, we recommend that you consider a personal umbrella policy. This would provide an additional layer of coverage of not only your condo liability but your auto and boat as well.

Coverage F: Medical Payments

This portion of the condo unit insurance policy pays medical expenses up to the specified policy limit for people who are accidentally injured on your premises or your activities.
Keep in mind however, Coverage F does not provide medical payments coverage for you or members of your family that live with you.
