What is Indianapolis Condo Insurance?

Indianapolis condominium insurance, also known as H-06 insurance, is a type of homeowners insurance designed specifically to meet the unique needs of condo owners. If you should experience property loss or damage due to fire, theft or weather, a condo insurance policy can protect you from the financial burdens associated with replacing or repairing your property. These policies also provide coverage for liability.

Condo insurance is typically less expensive than traditional homeowners insurance because it does not need to provide coverage for the structure of your building. You also have decreased liability risks since injuries sustained by guest outside the boundaries of your unit will be covered by the condo association’s master plan.

Indianapolis Condo Insurance Covers Personal Property

Accidental fires can cause a great deal of property damage. Cooking fires and carelessness with candles and cigarettes are some of the leading causes of residential fires. Even if you are extremely careful, you may have property damage from a fire in a neighboring unit. If their insurance coverage is insufficient to cover your losses, your condo insurance may cover the costs.

Indianapolis Tornado Statistics

  • From 2008 through 2010, 17 tornados touched down in Indianapolis
  • Most of these tornados were F0 or F1
  • The worst tornado to hit Indianapolis was an F4 in 1965

Inclement weather such as severe thunderstorms, tornados and hail can play a role in causing property damage. While most of the damage will be to the building’s structure, and not your responsibility, if it leads to water damage to your interior walls or to the destruction of your personal belongings, you will need to rely on your Indianapolis condo insurance for coverage.

Indianapolis Property Crime Statistics

  • There are more than 15,000 reported burglaries in this city each year
  • Approximately 18 out of every 1,000 residents are a burglarized each year
  • This is well over the national rate of 7 burglary victims per 1,000 residents
  • Indianapolis residents face a 1 in 17 chance of property crime
  • By comparison, Indiana residents face a 1 in 32 chance and US residents face a 1 in 29.1 chance of experiencing property crimes.

Theft and vandalism are the most common causes of property loss and damage in Indianapolis. Most condominium complexes are secured by high-tech entry-management equipment, gates and fences, but these are not always sufficient at keeping intruders at bay. It is very stressful to be the victim of a robbery or malicious property damage, but you may be able to take comfort in knowing that your policy will help you replace your lost items.

Indianapolis Condo Insurance Provides Liability Protection

Accidents happen, and if they result in extensive injuries, they can be very expensive. If a visitor to your home is injured and you are deemed liable, you can face expensive medical bills and punitive fees. Injuries can be the result of a slip and fall on a wet surface, a fall caused by tripping over loose carpeting or even injuries or damage caused by your children or pets.

Your condo insurance policy will protect you from the financial devastation that a liability lawsuit can bring. Your liability insurance will provide coverage for accidents that occur inside your home, and may also cover accidents that happen off your property. It will also cover court costs and legal fees associated with any covered events.
