Claims against office bearers are not frequent.

Office bearers benefit from protections under applicable state strata legislation, which often covers their actions performed in their official capacities. As a result, claims against office bearers are not frequent.

At Strata Insurance Solutions, the most common type of claim we've encountered involves allegations of defamation.

It's important to note that many insurers specifically exclude defamation from coverage under their office bearers liability insurance.

This exclusion highlights the importance of carefully reviewing your policy to understand what is and isn't covered.
