Employment Practices Liability
In today’s growing litigious environment, employment
practices claims against employers are on the rise. Employers face
serious exposures in their day-to-day interactions with employees, and
claims for sexual harassment, discrimination, wrongful termination, and
other workplace torts are a serious threat that must be confronted by
employers. The many costs associated with these types of claims can have
a serious financial impact, even on large businesses.
Organizations need to keep a watchful eye out to avoid
getting caught off guard by an Employment Practices Liability claim,
because it’s possible that organizations can do everything right and
still get sued. Employees or volunteers can file suits that may not make
sense but are still expensive to defend.
An unprepared organization facing a suit for
discrimination from a former employee may also be facing a loss of
private funding or public support that could threaten the companies financial
stability. If the organization is not financially strong at the outset
of the claim, the cost of just defending the claim could shut it down
for good. If these organizations have the proper insurance in place,
they are more likely to survive such suits.
An application along with an employee handbook,
details regarding prior claims and most recent financial statements are
all that is required in order to obtain a prompt quotation.
