Non Profit Directors And Officers Liability


In general, a D & O policy typically covers defense for and settlement of claims arising from governance and management, rather than bodily injury or property damage. An example might be loss of property value allegedly resulting from a bylaw decision.


Non-owned auto coverage

would insure your organization for claims arising out of others’ use of their own autos in your behalf. For example, if someone running an errand for the organization were involved in a serious accident, the organization may be sued as well as the member.
With nonowned automobile coverage, it is important to note that coverage does not extend to the other person - it covers only the organization itself. It is sometimes possible to obtain coverage for others for an additional premium.

Hired automobile coverage, often written in conjunction with non-owned auto coverage, extends coverage to automobiles hired, loaned, or leased, by your organization.


Workers Compensation

If the organization employs even part time workers, workers compensation is required by law.


Umbrella Policy


Provides an additional layer of liability coverage over the underlying policies. Subject to underwriting approval and purchase of required underlying limits of insurance.
