Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI Coverage)
Sometimes EPLI coverage is needed because, unfortunately, you don’t have to be wrong to be sued. Employers, regardless of size or the nature of business, face a variety of employment practice exposures, and the possibility of legal action. It is estimated that there are over 40 million lawsuits filed every year in the US. Make sure you are covered by a name you can trust with the expertise and history to help.
Claims may arise from purported wrongful termination, harassment, discrimination, retaliation, the failure to employ or promote employees, and other such legal allegations. Our employment practices liability policies (EPLI coverage) are for the retail, manufacturing, and technology industries as well as businesses that are harder to place such as contractors, hotels, restaurants, auto dealers, and many other industries. Midlands EPLI coverage is available for both private and public companies dependant on their needs.
