More details to this question:
Claimant has already filed a claim with HOA insurance, which, $5K deductible not withstanding, has only paid about a little over $5K of the near $10K claim. The homeowner says this is, without doubt, an HOA responsibility. Is it?

In order to determine that an attorney would need to review the Association's CC&Rs as well as any reports as to the cause of the leakage. Many CC&Rs contain exculpatory clauses that limit the Association's liability for leaks and other system failures.
