Fiduciary Liability Insurance
Insurance can be expensive, and finding the right coverage that matches the unique needs and budget of your business can be daunting. Additionally, poor service from insurance agencies and difficulty in getting in touch with them can leave you feeling frustrated, stressed, overwhelmed, scared, confused, insecure, and vulnerable. To address these concerns, INSURISK Solutions, a division powered by Palmetto State Insurance, offers fiduciary liability insurance, providing comprehensive protection for businesses against claims related to the mismanagement of benefit plans and the legal liability arising out of their role as fiduciaries.
The Benefits of Fiduciary Liability Insurance
Employee benefits play a crucial role in attracting and retaining talented individuals. However, with the provision of benefits comes the risk of liability. Fiduciary liability insurance is the best form of risk management for businesses that offer employee benefits, as it protects both the company and the individuals against claims of negligence, mismanagement, or actions not in the best interest of plan participants. By obtaining fiduciary liability insurance, your business can enjoy several benefits:
- Protection against costly claims: Fiduciary liability claims can be financially devastating for businesses. The costs of defending against such claims and the potential for settlements or damages awarded by the court can severely impact a company’s financial stability. Fiduciary liability insurance covers legal defense costs, settlements, and damages, safeguarding your company’s assets.
- Mitigation of mistakes and complex regulations: Employee benefit plans are complex, and even with diligent oversight, mistakes can happen. Fiduciary liability insurance provides coverage for errors and omissions in plan administration, improper advice or counsel, and failure to administer the plan according to plan documents. It helps businesses navigate the intricate regulations associated with benefit plans and protects them from potential liabilities.
- Coverage for fiduciaries and plan administrators: Anyone with decision-making power over benefit plans and assets can be considered a fiduciary. Fiduciary liability insurance extends coverage to fiduciaries, including employers, directors, officers, plan administrators, and trustees. This comprehensive coverage ensures that the individuals responsible for managing benefit plans are protected from legal liabilities.
- Compliance with ERISA requirements: The Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) mandates businesses to protect their benefit plans by taking out a fidelity bond. While the fidelity bond safeguards the plan’s assets, fiduciary liability insurance protects the people responsible for the plan. By obtaining fiduciary liability insurance, businesses fulfill the requirements set forth by ERISA.
