Probably one of the most important, but least understood of insurance coverages is D&O. Essentially, D&O insurance is liability coverage for company managers, officers & directors to protect them from claim situations that arise out of their direction and decision making. The personal assets of these individuals are now protected through this coverage (Side A) as would be the expenses the company incurs (Side B).
Don’t let your insured’s think they’re OK because they have the “corporate shield” of a company of non-profit to protect them. They could be going into their own pocket for defense costs and damages.

Employers are held accountable for the benefits options and plans that they offer to employees. Under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), employers / fiduciaries can be held personally liable for losses an employee incurs from a benefit plan, as a result of the employer’s negligence or breach of their fiduciary duty. Lawsuits can be brought by employees (plan participants) or the local, state or federal government.
