Maintain Coverage During High Interest Rates and Rising Inflation

In times of high interest rates and rising costs, businesses may cut elective coverages like EPL. However, dropping management liability insurance during financial stress can increase risk. Here are key risks of having a coverage gap during financial strain:

Economic Pressure On Leadership (2)

Coverage Gap Risks 

Claims-Made Policy Limitations: Most management liability policies (D&O, E&O) only respond to claims made and reported during the policy period. Skipping a policy year creates dangerous gaps, leaving businesses fully exposed to litigation.

Tip: Maintain uninterrupted coverage to avoid exposure.

Economic Pressure On Leadership

Economic Pressure on Leadership

Inflation-driven financial pressure is forcing companies to make tough decisions, and D&Os are increasingly held liable for revenue loss, cost-cutting missteps, or failed responses to economic stress.

Tip: Help clients document sound decision-making under pressure.

Rising EPL Claim Severity

Rising EPL Claim Severity

Higher wages + larger workforces = costlier claims.

With more employees in the labor market and average salaries up, EPL claim severity has surged, especially around terminations, discrimination, and pay equity.

Tip: Recommend thorough HR documentation and updated EPL limits.
