I have been grinding stumps for 5 years without a claim. Am currently looking into starting a Cooperative insurance group owned by its members and sharing the cost of claims equally. Have been working on a membership contract trying to work out some of the details and obligations that the members might need to agree too. I would like some feed back and ideas from those of you who are looking for stump grinding insurance only. I work for several small municipals as needed and they want damage and personal liability coverage. The amounts could be limited to as little as $5,000.00 for each claim as long as your track record is unblemished. Am considering an annual membership fee of $50.00 to cover administrative costs. No other costs unless a verifiable claim was authorized. One hitch is the number of members. The more members, the less cost to each in order to settle a claim. There would be a board of directors who would verify any claims. I actually have a sample contract drawn up that has been attorney approved to be legal in all 50 states. This could be considered as an add on policy that would pay regardless of other insurance. There are other considerations, that's why I am requesting feed back. If you are truly interested I would be happy to send you a copy of the membership contract as it stands right now, revisions pending.
