Got Questions About Directors & Officers Liability Insurance?

We have answers for you on all things insurance.
Who Needs Directors & Officers Liability?
D&O Insurance is crucial for any corporation with a board of directors or advisory committee, including public companies, privately held firms, and nonprofit organizations. It can protect these individuals from personal exposure to financial liabilities, thus ensuring that they can focus on what’s best for the business without fear of personal financial loss.
What is the difference between D&O and E&O insurance?
Directors & Officers (D&O) insurance specifically protects the personal assets of corporate directors and officers in the event they are personally sued for alleged wrongful acts in managing a firm. Errors & Omissions (E&O) insurance, on the other hand, covers professionals for claims against them regarding negligent actions or inadequate work in the services they provide. While D&O insurance focuses on the management decisions of the company’s leaders, E&O is about the performance and duties of the services offered.
Are volunteers covered under D&O insurance in a nonprofit?
Yes, volunteers can be covered under D&O insurance for nonprofits. Many D&O policies include coverage for directors, officers, trustees, employees, and volunteers.
Can claims made after a director has left the company be covered?
Yes, most D&O insurance policies include a "tail" coverage, which allows for claims to be reported after a director or officer has left the company, as long as the alleged wrongful act occurred during the period they were actively serving in their role. This is important to ensure ongoing protection for former directors and officers against claims arising from their past business decisions.
How do I determine the amount of coverage needed for my company?
Determining the right amount of D&O insurance coverage involves assessing various factors including the size and type of your business, the industry in which you operate, the risks associated with your business decisions, and the personal assets of the directors and officers that could be at risk. Additionally, consider the potential legal costs in defending a lawsuit, as well as any settlement or judgment amounts that could be significant. Consulting with an insurance expert who understands the specific risks associated with your industry and can tailor the coverage to your needs is advisable.
