Directors & Officers (D&O) Liability Insurance protects those in leadership roles from financial loss if they face lawsuits from employees, suppliers, clients, or third parties. This coverage includes defense costs, settlements, and expenses related to wrongful acts, allegations, and legal actions. D&O insurance is a vital corporate risk management strategy component and helps attract and retain skilled executives and board members.

Lawsuits against directors and officials frequently arise for the following reasons:

• Financial loss or insolvency as a result of a fiduciary obligation breach
• Misrepresenting the assets of the company
• misuse of corporate funds
• phoniness
• Failure to adhere to workplace regulations
• Intellectual property theft
• stealing customers from competitors
• Inadequate corporate oversight

Side A Coverage

Protects directors and officers for defense costs, settlements, or judgments if the company cannot reimburse them, such as in cases of bankruptcy.

Side B Coverage

Covers the company for losses incurred by directors, officers, and employees when the company repays them.

Side C Coverage

Also known as "entity coverage," this protection financially secures the corporation. However, entity coverage may reduce the limits available to protect individual officers and directors.
