Directors and senior management face many personal liability risks. D&O liability insurance policy provides the cover for the personal liability of directors and helps by paying the defense costs, damages and settlement costs. 
 
Directors & Officers liability insurance typically comprises the following two insuring agreements: 

  • Side A  – Responds when a company is unable to indemnify its directors and officers. The most common example of such a situation is when a company becomes insolvent. Side A coverage is often referred to as the “personal protection” part of a D&O Insurance contract.
  • Side B – is the part of a D&O policy that reimburses a company for its indemnification obligation to its directors and officers. Side B provides for reimbursement for the company.
