Details on D&O Insurance

The types of risks covered by a D&O policy vary depending on the specific policy in place, but generally include errors and omissions, breach of contract or fiduciary duty, negligence or misrepresentation, and wrongful acts. Some policies are also extended to cover defense costs associated with litigation brought by shareholders, regulatory agencies, and other third parties. It’s important to note that D&O coverage generally does not apply in cases of criminal activity or intentional misconduct.

When purchasing a D&O policy, organizations should consider their specific needs and risks as well as the size and scope of their operations. Many companies opt for specialized D&O policies tailored to meet their specific needs. This may include additional coverage for cyber liability, employment practices liability, environmental pollution liability claims, intellectual property infringement claims and more.

Overall, D&O insurance is an invaluable resource for any organization seeking to protect its directors and officers from personal financial liability related to mistakes or misconduct. It can provide the peace of mind needed to help leaders make informed decisions without worrying about the potential consequences. By properly assessing your company’s needs and purchasing the right policy, you can ensure that you are well protected against any potential risks.
