Home / Product Lines / Directors & Officers Liability Insurance
We understand that one benefit of forming a corporation is to protect individuals from liability risks. Directors and Officers of a corporation are typically immune from liability, but some courts allow creditors to seize personal assets. Board members can be sued by an employee or third party who asserts a claim for non-bodily injury.
Employment practices like termination and discrimination are the largest exposure in these types of claims. Organizations with a small, friendly staff may feel that it’s unlikely they will experience employment claims resulting in a lawsuit. Consequently, they might not think it necessary to carry D&O insurance. However, when employees feel they have been wronged and are angry, they may file a claim even if it is baseless. At that point, the company will have to hire a lawyer.
As an insurance agent or broker, you can provide a more practical, cost-effective alternative to incurring substantial legal fees. You can help directors and officers obtain a legal defense policy from Prime Insurance Company. This coverage protects property, cash, securities, and other assets if an incident, claim, or lawsuit occurs.
In today’s litigious society, it’s important to educate insureds that a liability exposure is time-consuming and costly to defend. What if there is no corporate veil? What if the judgment exceeds the limits of standard coverage? We will customize a plan to cover these risks and exposures for your clients.
Prime takes an all-in-one approach to D&O liability insurance. We can incorporate the coverages your clients require under one policy. Available options include:
Many directors and officers face significant liability exposure, and some insurance providers won’t cover these risks. That’s where Prime can step in and offer coverage. We focus on providing protection for individuals or entities that have been declined coverage or had their policies canceled or nonrenewed. We also can take on applicants with an excessive claims history. We can even cover the gaps and exclusions in existing plans, providing true peace of mind.
