EasyInsure Financial Entity E&O Insurance. The Right Coverage at The Right Price
Corporate vs Personal Coverage
Your Individual E&O Insurance Policy Is Not Enough to Protect Your Firm
While your individual E&O policy will protect you personally for claims brought against you, your firm has limited protection under that policy. The same is true for other advisors employed or contracted with your firm. In fact, the coverage for your firm is limited to "vicarious liability" if listed on your individual certificate of insurance.
In Common Law and under the Civil Code, the principle of vicarious liability establishes that an employer may be held liable for the conduct of its employees without there being proof of actual negligence.
However, should a claim arise against your firm alleging negligence, such as allegations of negligent supervision or training, your individual E&O policy won't respond to defend your corporation. Neither will the policies carried by any of your employed or contracted advisors.
Also, where a licensed advisor has left the firm, or where the advisor has failed to maintain individual E&O insurance, and a suit is brought against your firm alleging negligence on the part of the former employee, your corporation could be held liable.
Under these and many other circumstances, your individual E&O policy won't respond to protect your corporation. Any legal expenses or court awards would be borne entirely by your firm. Act now and insure with confidence with the EasyInsure Financial Entity E&O Insurance Program.
