Directors & Officers

Directors and officers liability coverage protects directors and officers against claims alleging negligence, errors and omissions, misstatements, misleading statements and misrepresentations.

However, general liability does not protect against alleged wrongful acts or omissions, including breach of duty, which do not result in bodily injury.

Pollution / Environmental Liability

Environmental coverage generally falls into two categories. Errors and omissions coverage, also known as professional liability, protects a professional who mistakenly designs a facility that causes pollution in some way. Pollution incident coverage protects professionals on the job in case they cause a pollution incident by perhaps backing into a sewage pipe.

Policies for environmental consultants can feature broad coverage specifically tailored to the needs of a professional in the environmental field. Coverage may include pollution incident and asbestos coverage as well as retroactive coverage for eligible firms.
