Directors and Officers Liability insurance coverage is designed to give financial relief when the management of a company is pursued legally. The D&O insurance policy will cover defense costs for investigations or trails against a company's directors and officers. Each insurance company’s policy will employ its own language, but in general terms: Insuring Agreement A, often referred to as “A-Side Coverage,” typically provides coverage directly to the directors and officers for loss – including defense costs – resulting from claims made against them for their wrongful acts. A-Side Coverage applies where the corporation does not indemnify its directors and officers. Insuring Agreement B, or “B-side coverage,” reimburses a corporation for its loss where the corporation indemnifies its directors and officers for claims against them. B-side coverage does not provide coverage for the corporation for its own liability. The language and conditions of Insuring Clause B typically mirror Insuring Clause A. Many D&O policies offer an optional coverage to protect the corporation against securities claims.

Minimum deductibles start as low as $0!
