Defining D&O Insurance

Directors and Officers liability insurance covers officers and directors of a company or organization, and their actions. When these people take any kind of business related actions they are essentially representing the company and this can affect customers, workers, and other businesses. This is especially important if company officers do things that are unethical, immoral, or illegal. In fact, if a lawsuit is filed against the company directors, D and O liability insurance helps to pay for damages and legal fees. These policies can be payable to the company officers or the company.

What Businesses Should Have D&O Liability Coverage?

Companies with officers and managers should consider protection. This includes not for profit organizations as well as those that are public traded. Private companies should also consider this coverage. This also includes:

  • Companies with board members
  • Company associations or organizations
  • Business partners
  • Businesses with multiple partners (including other company co-owners)
  • Stockholders with voting rights
  • 50-50 ownership situations

In addition, many smaller businesses should consider D&O insurance coverage, especially since the risk factors are lower than major corporations and insurance rates are very affordable. You never know when someone is going to sue you these days. In addition, most umbrella liability policies do not cover issues like fraud or theft.

Standard Directors and Officers Insurance

Most policies will cover legal issues like:

  • Demand for monetary damages
  • Criminal proceedings
  • Civil proceedings
  • Mediation or arbitration
  • Regulatory proceedings
  • Legal defense for fraudulent or illegal activity

Coverage can include organizations, subsidiaries, employees, managers, and advisory committees.

D&O Insurance Options

Options can vary according to the needs of the company, but they may include:

  • Personal indemnification
  • Expenses for investigations
  • Antitrust issues
  • Employment issues
  • Liability coverage extended to spouses or partners
  • Extension for foreign offices

In most cases, fines and penalties are not part the coverage.

D&O Insurance Coverage Can Be Confusing

When it comes to legal liability issues, there are many different things to consider. Moreover, it can get very complex when you add in all of the things that “might” or “could” happen.
