Real Protection Against Employment Claims
Employment claims like alleged harassment, discrimination and wrongful termination can threaten the reputation of your business, management and owners. Our crusade is to arm you with coverage that can help protect every aspect of your operation – even employment claims. Our EPL coverage includes liability and defense for claims that allege unlawful employment practices brought by full-time, part-time, seasonal and temporary employees, volunteers, independent contractors and applicants. It also spans punitive Damages (where insurable by law), Full Prior Acts and Optional Third Party Liability and offers flexible limit and deductible options.
Why EPL Coverage and Why Now?
Over the past 10 years, EPL claims have arisen from new causes of action that reflect changing demographics, legislative changes and an evolving social and political environment
