Protect your senior leadership with directors and officers liability insurance.
Shield your business from the repercussions of poor business decisions.
Directors and senior officers are entrusted with making crucial decisions, but if these decisions lead to liabilities, the consequences can be costly. Directors and Officers Liability Insurance (D&O) provides coverage for the expenses incurred in settling claims arising from erroneous decisions. Typically, D&O policies cover costs related to errors in financial statements or oversight in enforcing human resources policies. However, it’s important to note that acts of fraud or embezzlement intended for personal gain are generally excluded from coverage.
What does D&O liability insurance cover?
D&O insurance may cover legal costs and damages paid by the individual director or by the business entity, depending on the jurisdiction and indemnification rules. It serves as a crucial safeguard against financial risks arising from managerial decisions that result in legal claims or liabilities.
- What kind of D&O insurance policy do you need?
There are different types of D&O policies that offer coverage for just managers, as well as the company as a whole. The type of business you run may determine what type of coverage you need.
- How much does D&O insurance cost?
The cost of your D&O policy may vary depending on the size of your business, the industry you are in, business finances, revenue, and history of claims related to D&O.
- How does D&O protect your business and senior leadership?
Coverage may include costs of legal fees, settlements, and losses when actions such as failure of regulation compliance, breaches of financial duty, errors in reporting, and more.
