Erisa Coverage

Also referred to as the Pension Reform Act, the federal Employment Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) establishes minimum standards for employee benefit plans maintained by private employers and defines the coverage limit requirements. By protecting against loss due to acts of fraud or dishonesty, ERISA ensures that employees receive the pensions and other benefits promised by their employers, including retirement, 401(k), and health, life and disability insurance benefits.

Insurance For Volunteers

Typically, an organization purchases a package that combines a volunteer accident policy with volunteer liability coverage. The accident policy provides excess automobile liability coverage above the volunteer’s auto insurance. Volunteer liability coverage provides protection for a personal injury or property damage claim resulting from the volunteer’s work on behalf of the organization.

Professional Liability With Sexual Molestation Language

Anyone who operates his or her own business needs professional liability insurance in addition to a business owner policy. Professional liability protects individuals and companies against errors and omissions such as giving advice that turns out to be wrong or failing to deliver a service. It also covers legal fees incurred in defending a covered claim. Abuse and molestation liability insurance protects the company and its employees and volunteers against allegations of sexual misconduct and molestation by clients. Defending against such claims is quite costly.

Coverage Claims Examples

Apartment Buildings and Condo Associations

Habitational Liability Claim

When an apartment building caught on fire due to a tenant’s negligent candle burning, the fire quickly spread to other units, trapping another resident’s child. When the child later died of his injuries, the building owner was found liable because the smoke detectors were not functioning properly. This case resulted in a $5,000,000 settlement.

Medical / Health Facilities

Data Breach Claim

A former medical office employee stole a laptop containing patient medical records. She used the information to publicly shame patients on social media. During the investigation into the incident, it is discovered that this employee had a history of theft. The doctor was fined for violating HIPAA by not conducting proper background checks on employees. The doctor was also sued by the patients whose private medical information was leaked.

Data Breach Liability Coverage

Data or cyber insurance mitigates the risk of civil litigation and other penalties in the event of a data theft or data loss. Cybercrime, hacking and other digital security breaches — including breaches of private information — are covered, but only some policies cover HIPAA-related fines and violations.

Restaurants, Bars and Breweries

Identity Theft Claim

A small business owner of a local restaurant discovered his identity had been stolen when his bank denied his loan request to open a new location. The identity thief destroyed the owner’s credit score and the owner incurred large expenses attempting to reverse the damage done. His cyber liability policy covered the expenses to send corrective documents to the credit agencies, fees to resubmit all loan application documents, and for future credit monitoring.

Cyber And Data Breach / Identity Theft Coverage

Cyber liability insurance policies cover the expenses incurred as a result of a data or identity theft. Without liability Insurance, small businesses may be forced to close permanently because they lack the resources to pay the high recovery costs. Mavco can help you find an affordable plan that fits your business needs.
