Is
Your Business at Risk for Employment Practices Claims?
Rest easy for just $1.20* per day
Did you know that recent studies show that employers are
more likely to experience an employment-related insurance
claim than a general liability or a property claim? In
fact, 75 percent of litigation brought against corporations
involves employment disputes such as wrongful termination,
discrimination, retaliation and/or sexual harassment.
When it comes to employment practices liability (EPL)
claims, numbers can speak louder than words, so consider
the following:
•
The average award in litigated EPL cases exceeds $250,000.
• Typical termination and sexual harassment trial
cases cost between $50,000 and $100,000 to defend.
• Ninety percent of all Fortune 500 companies have
been sued for sexual harassment.
• One out of every five lawsuits filed against employers
is employment-related.

To
help protect and preserve your rights and your business,
you can purchase Employment Practices Liability Insurance
(EPLI). EPLI has become a valuable component of any company's
risk management strategy as your general liability policy
will not protect you from employment practices claims.
• EPLI covers your business organization, its subsidiaries,
directors, officers and employees from claims of defined
employment practices violations.
• EPLI pays damages (including back pay and front
pay), judgments, settlements and defense costs.
This
year is the perfect time to enroll in the EPLI program,
as BWNFA Member Services was able to secure outstanding
insurance premiums through our partnership with broker
Tobias Insurance. Underwritten by Zurich-American Insurance
Company (A+XV), the EPLI program allows you to take advantage
of an improved cost structure including highly competitive
premiums with a low deductible. View
our 2010 EPLI Pricing.
We
urge you to take a look at the EPLI program, available
for under $1.20 per day*. EPLI coverage can be written
at any time, so you may join the program immediately.
Please call your BWNFA Member Services representative
at (866) 402-7952 today to begin your EPLI coverage or
complete
the application and fax it to (678) 797-5171.
