Other Coverages:
While coverage is available in the traditional monoline form, an increasingly popular policy format for offering protection is bundling coverage as a package.
There are two basic packages that are gaining in popularity: a comprehensive version that lets the insured select from a full array of coverage modules to match their risk profile, and a specified limited version with cross over options for media liability/ internet E&O which is designed to address intellectual property, defamation, deceptive trade practice issues that arise directly from a company’s Internet sites and activities, and privacy and network security insurance.
All or most other coverages that make the RFO practice are appropriate. Contact a staff broker to discuss a particular account.
