The leaders of your organization are subject to a variety of potential liability risks. Protect the top executives in your company with directors and officers insurance coverage from LoPriore Insurance Agency.
D&O Insurance is a liability policy that provides coverage for your company's managers, directors, officers, and employees for suits alleging that their decisions cause financial harm. It may also pay for legal defense.
D&O Insurance protects your company and its directors against claims from stockholders, employees, and clients. Since company leaders can be held responsible for the acts of the company, most directors and officers will demand to be protected rather than put their assets at stake.
All organizations (public, private, and non-profit) and the individuals who make decisions are at risk of potential liability claims related to their business.
Directors and officers insurance protects the personal assets of company leaders and their spouses in the event they are personally sued (by employees, vendors, competitors, investors, customers, or other parties) for alleged wrongful acts related to the company. D&O Insurance can provide liability coverage for directors of all types of organizations including:
Most organizations carry provisions to protect board members, but there may be exclusions that leave you open to a lawsuit. Liabilities that aren't covered by your organization can be covered by D&O insurance.
A D&O policy will not recover wages, taxes, fines, penalties, or multiplied damages. It also excludes claims related to unlawful activity.
These claims should be reported immediately when you become aware of the claim.
Typically, your D&O policy includes provisions for a change in control. These provisions often state that the policy will stay in effect for the remainder of the policy period. However, coverage will only be provided for claims involving wrongful acts that occurred before the change. Some policies do terminate immediately upon a change in control, so it is important to understand the terms of your policy.
