Safe Harbour is pleased to announce our General Liability Program including Hired and Non-Owned Auto protection for eligible Condominium Associations is available!

The addition of a separate liability policy is a perfect compliment to our broad property coverage.

We have moved toward a more efficient insurance placement for our agents who can now spend more of their time on the complex work of evaluating and meeting customers’ needs.

This new Liability Program gives us the ability to rapidly quote and bind qualified accounts at competitive rates.

Effective immediately, our agents can submit the Acord Liability Application and Property and General Liability Supplemental Application (in addition to our property submission requirements) to secure a Property and Liability quotation.

Our new Property and General Liability Supplemental Application is available online at www.shuw.org. Click on Products and follow the menu to Forms/Questionnaires to secure a copy of the new combined supplemental application.

In addition to the above, the General Liability Policy (and new supplemental) are available online at www.asicorp.org by logging in using your agent identification and viewing the Policy Forms section.

Comprehensive General Liability Highlights:

  • $1,000,000 – Occurrence Limit
  • $2,000,000 – Aggregate Limit
  • $1,000,000 – Hired & Non-Owned Auto
  • $5,000 – Medical Payments (per person)

Coverage Summary*:

Premises Liability; Products & Completed Operations; Contractual Liability; Incidental Medical Malpractice; Broad Form Property Damage; Personal Injury Liability (Incl. Libel, Slander, False Arrest, Malicious Prosecution & Defamation of Character)
