Understanding Directors & Officers Liability Insurance

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

The Critical Need for Directors & Officers Liability Insurance

The necessity of having comprehensive D&O insurance cannot be overstated. It's a common misunderstanding that other liability policies, such as general commercial liability, errors, omissions, or professional liability, cover misconduct allegations by directors or companies. This is often not the case.

  • Misconduct may not be covered under the organization's indemnification clause.
  • Even if indemnification is possible, the organization may need more funds to cover the ongoing expenses of a lawsuit.
  • Legal costs can quickly escalate to six figures or more.

With the financial support of a D&O insurance policy, indemnification clauses may sufficiently protect the organization's directors and officers.
