Director‘s And Officer’s Insurance

What is Director’s and Officer’s Insurance?

Director’s and Officer’s insurance specifically provides insurance coverage for a “wrongful act,” such as an actual or alleged error, omission, misleading statement, neglect or breach of duty.

For example, A manufacturer told one of its suppliers to increase inventory because they were expecting a large increase in production. As predicted, demand for the manufacturer’s product grew, but the manufacturer increased its inventory with another vendor. The original supplier successfully sued the manufacturer, alleging they suffered damages as a result of having relied on the manufacturer’s promise.
