Umbrella Liability

Umbrella insurance is a secondary type of liability insurance that covers your personal liability above and beyond the standard liability you have taken on your homeowner policy. Umbrella insurance gives you added liability protection for lawsuits and claims that rise against you that could put your personal assets at risk.

Umbrella insurance covers you when your base policy liability limit is not enough, protecting you above and beyond the limits on your existing personal insurance policies. Umbrella liability insurance can protect you from litigation arising from property damage, injury or associated legal defense costs if you get sued for damages to other people’s property or injuries.

Directors and Officers Insurance

Directors & Officers Insurance (D&O) provides financial protection for managers, directors, officers or board members who are personally sued for alleged wrongful acts or duty. D&O insurance will provide coverage for damages, defense costs, settlements and awards that these individuals could face and be forced to pay out of pocket. If your company is privately owned, publicly traded or not for profit, then you need D&O insurance. We will get you and your organization covered with a liability solution to protect the personal assets of any individuals at risk in the event a claim is brought against them to ensure your company is protected.

D&O Risk Scenario

Inaccurate or inadequate disclosure
Failure to comply with regulations
Breach of fiduciary duty resulting in financial losses or bankruptcy
Lack of or poor corporate governance
Mergers and acquisitions
Competitor claims

Reporting errors
HR and employment practice issues
