Umbrella & excess provides increased limits of liability at a greatly reduced premium as compared to the general liablity policy. The theory is that the GL policy is the "working layer" for most claims, while the umbrella pays for the more severe (but less frequent) types of claims. The higher limits may be needed if the association is sued. Examples: * A person slipped and fell in the community's park. * Ice formed on the private road owned by the community, causing an auto accident. * A board member was alleged to have discriminated against a community resident. * and whatever else people sue for Note that while none of the above lawsuits are likely, and even so, have little or no merit, they can deplete a HOA's budget with the lawyer bills necessary to defend them. A special assessment against all of the homeowners would be inevitable, which could result in hardship and possibly assessment liens against homeowners in the association.
