Directors & Officers Coverage
Directors and Officers (D&O) coverage provides a broad range of protection from liability claims and lawsuits against senior management and board members of an organization. This coverage provides protection for the legal defense costs and indemnification for such lawsuits and claims arising out of the action and responsibility of management and board members. These claims may cover a wide range of allegations or damages, such as insufficient or inadequate guidelines, oversight or supervision relative to hiring practices, financial reporting/principles, contracts, or operational standards.
Our D&O policy has a unique structure with three primary components: Healthcare, Educational, and Religious. Each component is designed to address the unique issues of each type of organization. Limits typically purchased range from $2 million to $10 million.
This program includes additional protections such as:
- Employment Practices Liability
- Crisis Management and Communication Consulting and Expenses
- Sexual Harassment Coverage
- Public Relations and Media Consulting
The deductibles for this coverage are unique to each participating location. Contact the Office of Risk Management for more information, or if you are not aware of the deductibles for your particular location.

D&O Claims
Any claims or lawsuits (or incidents that may potentially result in a claim or lawsuit) should be immediately reported to the Claims Manager. The Claims Manager will coordinate the oversight, as well as any necessary legal and insurer claims representation.
As D&O claims frequently overlap with other types of liability protection, you should be prepared to provide the Claims Manager with the policy and contact information for any additional coverage that you may have in place.
