Question:
My 55+ HOA owns a passenger van to take people to Dr. appointments, grocery shopping, etc. What liability does the association incur if there are injuries to riders? The driver has a commercial vehicle license, but has no training in handling disabled or frail people.

Answer:
Hi Sheila,
Your HOA may be taking on liability by providing transportation to residents. However, it is difficult to determine the exact legal ramifications your HOA might face. Make sure your HOA carries sufficient liability insurance. Additionally, make sure your HOA is in compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act. It is best to seek further guidance from a lawyer.
