Coverage Summary

Self-Insurance Programs

As of October 1, 2005, HARRP members fully self insure their exposures without recourse to reinsurance on excess insurance.

The coverage limits are $1 million per occurrence and in the aggregate for auto liability and $2 million per occurrence and in the aggregate for general liability, errors and omissions liability and employment practices liability.

Through the act of self-insuring its exposures, HARRP and its members maintain direct control over the adjustment, defense and settlement of the claims. This independence from the traditional insurance industry carries with it the responsibility to control costs in order to enjoy favorable rates.

Excess Property Insurance HARRP purchases excess property coverage for losses exceeding $2,000,000. For 2006, the limit of such excess property coverage is $63 million above the self insured coverage.

There is no coverage for flood or earthquake damage.
