Also known as D&O coverage, Directors and Officers Insurance protects those in positions of leadership in most types of organizations. It helps to safeguards these individuals from any personal losses they could suffer in the event of any legal action that arises as a result of their leadership position.
Any organization with a company board or advisory committee should purchase Directors and Officers insurance. Irrespective of its size or turnover, the leadership is at risk of facing legal action over their management, mismanagement, or perceived management of the organization. From large corporations to smaller non-profits or educational institutions, buying D&O coverage protects those people who make and take the key decision in the organization.
When an organization does not comply with certain regulations, such as failing to provide a safe and secure place to work. Or, it is found to be liable because of operational failures or mismanagement; the leadership could be left exposed to further liabilities. Some of these are listed below:
At Tanna Insurance, we will help you secure the best D&O coverage for your organization and protect those individuals who may be exposed to legal action through a leadership position.
As any insurance agent will tell you, there are different terms depending on the individual insurer you select. Directors and Officers coverage is often a combination of different elements, that are known as ‘sides.’
Here is a breakdown of each.
SIDE A – This provides protection to Officers and Directors in the event the organization itself is not able to indemnify the individuals.
SIDE B – This element will reimburse the organization when it indemnifies the individual and will, therefore, protect the organization’s balance sheet.
SIDE C – This element is also known as entity coverage, and it will eradicate any disputes about coverage allocation when both the ‘insured’ and the officers and directors are each named on a securities lawsuit as co-defendants
