Litigiousness

Health-Wellness_People_LadySickWithFeverASBESTOS-RELATED ILLNESS

Exposure to asbestos can cause lung cancer and other respiratory diseases. The first asbestos-related lawsuit was filed in 1966. A large number of workers who may have physical signs of exposure but not a debilitating disease are filing claims now out of concern that if they later develop an illness, the company responsible may be bankrupt, due to other asbestos claims. It can take as long as 40 years after exposure for someone to be diagnosed with an asbestos-related illness. In December 2012 A.M. Best increased its estimate of ultimate insurance industry asbestos losses from $75 billion in 2011 to $85 billion. A.M. Best attributes the jump to a spate of court rulings that increased insurance coverage for claimants, and a rise in claims related to mesothelioma, a fatal type of cancer identified with exposure to asbestos. In Congress a bill, Furthering Asbestos Claim Transparency, was introduced in March 2013. The bill would require asbestos trusts, set up by companies to deal with asbestos claims to file detailed quarterly reports on claims and their resolution with the Executive Office of U.S. Trustees. (See Insurance Issues Updates: Asbestos Liability).

INSURERS’ LEGAL DEFENSE COSTS

Lawsuits against businesses affect the cost of insurance and the products and services of the industries sued. Travelers Insurance 2015 Business Risk Index showed that legal liability was the fourth-highest rated worry for business leaders in the United States, down from No. 3 a year earlier. Of 1,210 business leaders surveyed, 56 percent indicated they worry about it somewhat or a great deal.

Businesses address their liability concerns through many types of risk management, of which insurance is an important component. A Swiss Re study indicated that the United States in 2013 had the largest commercial liability insurance market in the world both in premium volume ($84 billion) and as a percentage of Gross Domestic Product (0.50 percent). More than half of all global liability premiums were written in the United States.

Insurers are required to defend their policyholders against lawsuits. The costs of settling a claim are reported on insurers’ financial statements as defense and cost containment expenses incurred. These expenses include defense, litigation and medical cost containment. Expenditures for surveillance, litigation management and fees for appraisers, private investigators, hearing representatives and fraud investigators are included. In addition, attorney legal fees may be incurred owing to a duty to defend, even when coverage does not exist, because attorneys must be hired to issue opinions about coverage. Insurers’ defense costs as a percentage of incurred losses are relatively high in some lines such as products liability and medical malpractice, reflecting the high cost of defending certain types of lawsuits, such as medical injury cases and class actions against pharmaceutical companies. For example, in addition to $1.2 billion in products liability incurred losses in 2014, insurers spent $953 million on settlement expenses, equivalent to 77.4 percent of the losses.

PERSONAL INJURY AWARDS

Most lawsuits are settled out of court. Of those that are tried and proceed to verdict, Jury Verdict Research data show that in 2013 the median (or midpoint) award in personal injury cases was $68,218, down from $75,000 the previous year. The average award dropped to $1,009,788 from $1,045,048 during the same period. Thomson Reuters notes that average awards can be skewed by a few very high awards and that medians are more representative. In cases of product liability the highest median award was in industrial/construction products cases ($2,541,000). In disputes concerning medical malpractice the highest median award was in childbirth cases ($2,160,420). In cases involving business negligence the highest median award was against transportation industries ($588,500).

Awards of $1 million or more accounted for 16 percent of all personal injury awards in 2012 and 2013, up from 14 percent in the prior two-year period. In 2012 and 2013, 71 percent of products liability awards and 53 percent of medical malpractice awards amounted to $1 million or more, the highest proportion of awards. Vehicular liability and premises liability cases had the lowest proportion of awards of $1 million or more, at 7 percent and 12 percent, respectively.

CASUALTY COST OF RISK PER $1,000 OF REVENUE, 2006-2007

170a.gif

Source: Marsh Inc.

  • The casualty cost of risk per $1,000 of revenues dropped by 6 percent from $1.88 in 2006 to $1.77 in 2007 for companies surveyed by Marsh in both years. The overall drop was 23 percent in 2007, taking into account new and repeat participants.

DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS LIABILITY INSURANCE

Directors and officers liability insurance (D&O) covers directors and officers of a company for negligent acts or omissions and for misleading statements that result in suits against the company. There are various forms of D&O coverage. Corporate reimbursement coverage indemnifies directors and officers of the organization. Side-A coverage provides D&O coverage for personal liability when directors and officers are not indemnified by the firm. Entity coverage for claims made specifically against the company is also available. D&O policies may be broadened to include coverage for employment practices liability (EPL). EPL coverage may also be purchased as a stand-alone policy.

Sixty-four percent of corporations purchased D&O coverage in 2014 according to the Cost of Risk survey from the Risk and Insurance Management Society, based on a survey of 1,457 corporations. Banks were the most likely to purchase D&O coverage, with 87 percent of industry respondents purchasing the coverage, followed by 85 percent of respondents in telecommunication services. JLT Specialty’s 2015 U.S. Directors and Officers Liability Survey of 157 U.S. organizations that purchase D&O liability insurance found that the group’s average D&O limits that were purchased was $131 million and the median limit purchased was $105 million. For public companies the average limit was $170 million. For private companies the average was $98 million. Twenty-four percent of public companies and 17 percent of private companies increased their D&O limits from their previous purchase. According to the 2014 survey 31 percent of respondents reported having had a claim in the past five years, with nonprofits reporting the highest proportion of claims (58 percent).

EMPLOYMENT PRACTICES LIABILITY

Employment practices are a frequent source of claims against directors, officers and their organizations. Organizations that purchase insurance for employment practices liability (EPL) claims typically either buy a stand-alone EPL insurance policy or endorse their directors and officers liability (D&O) policy to cover employment practices liability. In 2014, 9 percent of public companies responding to a JLT Specialty survey shared or blended their D&O limits with another coverage such as EPL or fiduciary liability, compared with 44 percent of private companies and 67 percent of nonprofits.

In 2014, 35 percent of the 1,457 respondents to the 2014 Cost of Risk survey from the Risk and Insurance Management Society said they bought EPL policies. Banks were the most likely to purchase EPL coverage, with 59 percent of industry respondents purchasing the coverage, followed by telecommunications services (48 percent), consumer staples (46 percent), and consumer discretionary firms (45 percent). American International Group Inc. was the leading writer, based on EPL premiums written, with a 25.9 percent market share in 2014, followed by Chubb Corp. (11.5 percent), AXIS Capital Holdings Ltd. (10.9 percent), Zurich Insurance Group Ltd. (10.3 percent), and The Travelers Companies Inc. (5.7 percent).

SHAREHOLDER LAWSUITS

Cornerstone Research has conducted annual studies of securities class-action lawsuit settlements and filings each year since the passage of the 1995 Private Securities Litigation Reform Act, enacted to curb frivolous shareholder lawsuits.

Filings

The number of new federal securities class-action lawsuits filed rose 2.4 percent to 170 in 2014 from 166 in 2013, according to Cornerstone’s 2015 study. The 170 filings in 2014 compare with an annual average of 189 recorded between 1997 and 2013. In 2014 healthcare, biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies accounted for 37 percent of all filings, totaling 63 filings, up from 45 filings in 2013. Filings related to mergers and acquisitions have been at the same level for the past three years while Chinese reverse merger filings have continued to subside and were minimal in 2014. Reverse mergers involve the acquisition of a private company by a public “shell” company, giving it access to capital markets.

Settlements

Total settlement dollars in court-approved securities class actions in 2014 dropped to the lowest level in 16 years according to Cornerstone Research. The average settlement amount fell to the lowest level since 2000 at the same time. However the number of securities class action settlements was almost unchanged from year ago, 63 in 2014 versus 67 in 2013. Reflecting an absence of large cases, total settlement dollars fell 78 percent, to $1.1 billion in 2014 from $4.8 billion in 2013. In 2014 the percentage of settlement dollars from mega-settlements (i.e., those in excess of $100 million) was the lowest in 16 years. The median settlement amount, which represents the typical case, fell slightly, to $6.0 million in 2014 from $6.6 million in 2013, however the average settlement size fell faster, to $17 million in 2014 from $73.5 million in 2013.

Small Business Insurance Basics

Insurance_InsurancePolicyAndMoneyInsurers often combine a number of insurance coverages into a package that is sold as a single contract. The most common policy for small businesses is the Businessowners Policy (BOP).

The BOP combines coverage for all major property and liability insurance risks as well as many additional coverages into one package policy suitable for most small businesses. The term “BOP” specifically refers to insurance policy language developed (and revised as needed) by experts at ISO. ISO provides sample insurance policy language, research and a variety of other products to insurance companies.

The BOP includes business income insurance, sometimes called business interruption insurance. This compensates a business owner for income lost following a disaster. Disasters typically disrupt operations and may force a business to vacate its premises. Business income insurance also covers the extra expense that may be incurred if a business must operate out of a temporary location.

To cover specific risks associated with a business, a variety of additional coverages may be added to the basic BOP. For example, if a business has an outdoor sign, the BOP doesn’t cover it unless coverage is specifically added for an additional premium. If a business relies on electronic commerce, the owner can add coverage for lost income and extra expenses in the event the ability of the business to conduct e-commerce is slowed down or stopped due to a computer virus or hacker.

Only small- to medium-sized businesses that meet certain criteria are eligible for a BOP. Factors insurers consider include the size of the premises, the required limits of liability, the type of business and the extent of offsite activity. Premiums for BOP policies are based on those factors plus business location, financial stability, building construction, security features and fire hazards.

Major Coverages

Most small businesses need to purchase at least the following four types of insurance.

1. Property Insurance

Property insurance compensates a business if the property used in the business is lost or damaged as the result of various types of common perils, such as fire or theft. Property insurance covers not just a building or structure but also what insurers refer to as personal property, meaning office furnishings, inventory, raw materials, machinery, computers and other items vital to a business’s operations. Depending on the type of policy, property insurance may include coverage for equipment breakdown, removal of debris after a fire or other destructive event, some types of water damage and other losses.

2. Liability Insurance

Any enterprise can be sued. Customers may claim that the business caused them harm as the result of, for example, a defective product, an error in a service or disregard for another person’s property. Or a claimant may allege that the business created a hazardous environment. Liability insurance pays damages for which the business is found liable, up to the policy limits, as well as attorneys’ fees and other legal defense expenses. It also pays the medical bills of any people injured by, or on the premises of, the business.

3. Business Auto Insurance

A business auto policy provides coverage for autos owned by a business. The insurance pays any costs to third parties resulting from bodily injury or property damage for which the business is legally liable, up to the policy limits.

4. Workers Compensation Insurance

In all states but Texas an employer must have workers compensation insurance when there are more than a certain number of employees, varying from three to five, depending on the state. Workers comp insurance, as this coverage is generally called, pays for medical care and replaces a portion of lost wages for an employee who is injured in the course of employment, regardless of who was at fault for the injury. When a worker dies as a result of injuries sustained while working, the insurance provides compensation to the employee’s family. An extremely small business, such as one operated by one or two people out of a home, may not need workers compensation insurance. But it often needs more property and liability insurance than is provided in a typical homeowners policy.

Other Types of Business Coverages

1. Errors and Omissions Insurance/Professional Liability

Some businesses involve services such as giving advice, making recommendations, designing things, providing physical care or representing the needs of others, which can lead to being sued by customers, clients or patients claiming that the business’s failure to perform a job properly has injured them. Errors and omissions or professional liability insurance covers these situations. The policy will pay any judgment for which the insured is legally liable, up to the policy limit. It also provides legal defense costs, even when there has been no wrongdoing.

2. Employment Practices Liability Insurance

Employment practices liability insurance covers (up to the policy limits) damages for which an employer is legally liable such as violating an employee’s civil or other legal rights. In addition to paying a judgment for which the insured is liable, it also provides legal defense costs, which can be substantial even when there has been no wrongdoing.

3. Directors and Officers Liability Insurance

Directors and officers liability insurance protects directors and officers of corporations or not-for-profit organizations if there is a lawsuit claiming they managed the business or organization without proper regard for the rights of others. The policy will pay any judgment for which the insured is legally liable, up to the policy limit. It also provides for legal defense costs, even where there has been no wrongdoing.

4. Key Employee Insurance

Life or disability income insurance can compensate a business when certain key employees die or become disabled. These coverages cushion some of the adverse financial impact that results from losing a key employee’s participation.

5. Umbrella Policies

As the name implies, an umbrella liability policy provides coverage over and above a business’s other liability coverages. It is designed to protect against unusually high losses. It provides protection when the policy limits of one of the underlying policies have been used up. For a typical business, the umbrella policy would provide protection beyond the general liability and auto liability policies. If a company has employment practices liability insurance, directors and officers liability, or other types of liability insurance, the umbrella could provide protection beyond those policy limits as well.

Directors and Officers Insurance

People_Workers_ManOnComputerPROTECTING YOUR BUSINESS FROM LIABILITY ISSUES

While business insurance policies by definition provide coverage for the business itself, individual company officers may still be personally exposed to financial losses resulting from a lawsuit. To protect your company’s leadership, you may want to consider purchasing directors and officers (D&O) liability insurance.

What D&O Covers

Directors and officers is a type of liability insurance that covers individuals for claims made against them while serving on a board of directors and/or as an officer. This type of policy can be written to cover directors and officers of for-profit businesses, privately held firms, not-for-profit organizations and educational institutions. There are several elements—called “Sides”—to a D&O policy, including:

  • Side A—Protects a corporation’s directors and officers when the company cannot indemnify the individuals.
  • Side B—Reimburses the organization when it indemnifies the individuals, thus protecting the company’s balance sheet
  • Side C—Also known as “entity coverage,” this eliminates disputes of coverage allocation when both the directors and officers and the insured organization are named as co-defendants in a securities lawsuit.

A wide range of claims against a business have the potential to target company leadership for responsibility—and liability. Business leaders can be held responsible for a company’s failure to comply with regulations and to provide a safe and secure workplace. In addition, if a company is found liable for losses because of operational failures and mismanagement, directors and officers may be exposed to liability as well. The types of claims that may target company leadership individually as well as the company itself typically include:

  • Shareholder suits over company or stock performance.
  • Creditor or investor suits over mismanagement or dereliction of fiduciary duties.
  • Misrepresentation in a prospectus.
  • Decisions exceeding the authority granted to a company officer.
  • Failure to comply with regulations or laws.
  • Employment practices and HR issues.
  • Pollution and other regulatory claims.
  • Cyber liability.

What’s Excluded?

Standard exclusions in a D&O policy typically include:

  • Fraud.
  • Personal profiting.
  • Accounting of profits, and other illegal compensation exclusions.
  • Pending and prior litigation.
  • Prior (late) claim notice.
  • Bodily injury/property damage.
  • Insured versus insured claims.
  • ERISA.

The Added Value of Protecting Company Leaders

Aside from paying for claims against company leadership, there are several other benefits to carrying directors and officers liability insurance, including a company’s ability to:

  • Retain Strong Leaders—Many potential directors and officers will be reluctant to join your business if they are exposed to personal liability. D&O liability insurance helps address this issue.
  • Attract Investment—Venture capital and private equity firms often require companies to have D&O coverage before they make an investment.
  • Cover Legal Fees—Even if directors and officers are exonerated of wrongdoing, your business may incur substantial legal fees in responding to a lawsuit against your leadership. If you have a D&O policy, your company’s legal fees will likely be covered.

There are several types of D&O policies, defined by what liabilities, legal costs and other exposures are covered. You should select coverage based on risks and how your business is organized. Your company’s bylaws or articles of incorporation may provide certain protections—or indemnification—for directors and officers. You should seek guidance from your insurance professional about this somewhat complex, technical type of insurance.
