Directors and Officers Insurance

No matter how comprehensive your liability insurance in Maryland is, directors and officers in your company could still incur personal expenses from business lawsuits. You can protect your company's leadership by investing in directors and officers liability insurance (also known as D&O coverage).

What Does D&O Insurance Cover?

Directors and officers insurance is a type of liability coverage designed specifically to protect your company's leadership. This type of coverage offers protection if individual leaders of your company are targeted as part of a claim or lawsuit.

Individual leaders may become the subject of a claim for a wide variety of reasons. Sometimes an individual is charged with failure to maintain the company's safety standards. Other times, it's because an individual offers inappropriate advice or is responsible for larger-scale operations failures or poor management.

Who is Directors and Officers Insurance For?

D&O policies can be beneficial for educational institutions, non-profit organizations, and businesses of all sizes. The cost and details of the policy will vary greatly depending on the type of business or organization you run and the size of your leadership team. If your business has a board of directors or a diverse leadership team, it's worth weighing your policy options and getting a quote.
