Directors & Officers Liability Insurance
Your MCCA centre
Commercial General Liability Insurance does not cover
wrongful acts. This does not prevent board members from
being sued. Directors & Officers insurance provides
a legal defense and possible compensatory award to a claimant.
This insurance
coverage agrees to reimburse the Boards of Directors for
amounts they are legally obligated to pay for claims made
against them for wrongful acts, including the cost of
defending any such claim. Wrongful acts are usually defined
as meaning any breach of duty, neglect, error, or other
wrongful acts done or attempted. Such claims may be ruled
by a court of law or settled "out of court".
- You can obtain a premium quote and a proposal form from Cox Morris Insurance Brokers
- This policy has a deductible of one thousand dollars
- The limit of liability is dependant upon the limit of coverage purchased. The base limit is $ 1 million, 2 or 3 million is available
