Why a Standard Homeowners or Rental Policy Isn't Enough.
Standard Policies Fall Short
Supervision Disputes
Standard policies often lack coverage for claims regarding the level of resident supervision provided by your staff.
Abuse & Molestation
This is a standard exclusion in generic policies but is vital protection for any facility housing multiple residents.
What Insurance Do Sober Living Homes Need?
Running a sober living home means more than providing a safe place to stay.
What Sober Living Homes Need Covered
Coverage for medical expenses and liability arising from accidents involving residents on the premises.
Supervision Liability
Protection against claims of negligent supervision or failure to monitor resident protocols.
Abuse & Molestation
Specific coverage for defense and damages related to allegations of misconduct within the home.
Property Coverage
The core foundation covering standard slip-and-falls and operations-related lawsuits.
Common Coverage Mistakes We See
Avoid Common Mistakes
Standard Rental Assumptions
Assuming a standard dwelling fire policy covers business activities like recovery meetings or onsite management.
Excluded Abuse Coverage
Finding out only after a claim that abuse and molestation coverage was never actually added to the policy.
Low Liability Limits
Carrying standard $1M limits when the high-risk nature of sober living often demands $3M-$5M in aggregate protection.
