If you own a business, we’d like you to consider Directors and Officers Liability Insurance. But what is it?
Directors and officers (D&O) liability insurance protects the personal assets of corporate directors and officers, in the event they are personally sued by employees, vendors, competitors, investors, customers, or other parties, for actual or alleged wrongful acts in managing a company.
Unfortunately, as a director or an officer for either a pro-profit or non-profit organization, you are at risk of being sued for wrongful decisions or actions while you are in this role. If this were to happen to you (and you did NOT have D&O insurance) you could be personally responsible for paying the bill on any settlements or judgements against you.
The high costs of litigation could easily bankrupt most people. Don’t risk it. If you’re a Director or Officer, you need D&O Liability coverage.
It’s a common misconception that D&O claims happen only to large, public companies.
In fact, recent studies have shown that public, private, and non-profit companies ALL face D&O litigation risks.
Any business with a corporate board or advisory committee should consider investing in D&O insurance, including non-profit organizations. Your company does not have to make tens of millions of dollars for your directors and officers to be personally sued over their management of company affairs. In fact, smaller businesses with fewer assets usually need the protection just as much as large corporations.
Here are some other things that D&O Insurance can do:
- Protect your business against financial losses from lawsuits involving its directors and offcers
- Help attract and retain top talent who want to work for a company that cares about protecting their directors and officers
- Ease your mind knowing that you and your business is protected in the event of a lawsuit
