When damage occurs, a loss can lead to additional costs to condo owners. At Cary-Wheeler &amp; Associates Inc. in Richmond, VA, we help our clients acquire loss assessment coverage to reduce expensive condo assessment costs.<\/p>\n<h2>Understanding What a Loss Assessment Is<\/h2>\n<p>Sometimes, damage occurs to common areas of a condo property that the master insurance policy may not cover. This may occur when a high deductible amount exceeds what is available in the reserves of money that consists of your monthly condo fees or a shortfall in the coverage amount. When this situation occurs, the condominium association may call for a loss assessment from all the association members to make up the difference.<\/p>\n<h2>When Does Loss Assessment Coverage Apply?<\/h2>\n<p>A severe storm or hurricane may cause damage to a building, swimming pool, or gazebo on the property. The condo association&rsquo;s insurance coverage may only cover a portion of the damage or may have a high deductible. If you are required to pay a portion of the difference, your loss assessment coverage may apply. This coverage does not cover normal upkeep or replacement; it only covers assessments associated with a loss covered by insurance. Loss assessment coverage may vary, and you may be able to get additional loss assessment coverage.<\/p>\n<h2>Make Cary-Wheeler &amp; Associates Your Agent for Condo Insurance<\/h2>\n<p>If you have questions about the unique insurance needs of condominium ownership, our experienced agents can provide expert advice and factual information.
