Directors and Officers Liability protects against claims for negligent acts, errors or omissions alleged to have been committed by present or former directors and officers of your corporation. Umbrella and Excess Liability provides a higher limit of coverage for extra protection over scheduled liability coverage, to act as primary coverage if your underlying limits are exhausted, and to provide coverage for some risks when your primary coverage does not.
