The current state of the insurance
market is “hard”; a market that offers
reduced coverages coupled with rising premiums and
deductibles. If you are not working with an insurance
agent or broker that has an adept understanding of
the professional liability coverages needed to protect
your business and it’s future, your company will
lose on many fronts: lack of coverage, over-pricing,
claims advocacy, and risk management to name a few.
Liability insurance for the errors, omissions, and
other wrongful acts of directors and officers has
been available since the early 1960’s. Since
that time, the increase in public awareness and expectations,
and the more litigious nature of society, have resulted
in a virtual explosion of litigation against corporate
managers as well as judicial analysis of the conduct
and standards applicable to Directors & Officers.
The result is that Directors & Officers are frequently
being “second guessed” by the courts. |
