Management Liability Insurance
Management Liability Insurance, also known as Directors and Officers (D&O) Insurance, protect company directors, officers, and other key executives from legal liabilities and financial losses resulting from their management decisions and actions while performing their duties.
Taking Decisions and managing an organisation involves some element of risk. Companies and executives can protect their monetary security and personal assets from the potential implications of litigation and legal disputes by shifting this risk to an insurance policy. Firms of all sizes and industries can take Management Liability Insurance.
To successfully run a business, company management sometimes takes risky decisions that can result in legal cases after some time. Such litigation against the corporation, its management directors or an executive team incurs additional expenses. Getting Management Liability Insurance can assist in relieving the burden and keep the business running efficiently and without hiccups.
Lifecycle Fire and General can help business organisations by offering insurance plans that protect the company assets and balance sheet.
It’s worth noting that Carrier’s Liability Insurance is for the carrier owner, responsible for transporting the goods. However, the need for this insurance can also extend to shippers or cargo owners who want to ensure that the carriers they engage are adequately insured when contracting transportation services.
