What optional coverages are available for engineers in Regina?
Besides offering professional liability insurance, EasyCover can also provide a few additional protections for Regina’s engineers.
Commercial General Liability Insurance (CGL)
Commercial general liability insurance (CGL) is the most basic form of liability insurance. It offers protection in the event that you or any of your employees accidentally injure a third party or cause damage to their property while carrying out business operations. This includes any injuries or damages that occur on your premises or on a client’s property.
CGL insurance is considered a critical coverage option and if you have professional liability insurance but leave CGL out, you may leave your business vulnerable. We start CGL coverage at $1 million but you can choose higher limits if desired or required.
Directors and Officers Liability Insurance
Directors and officers can be held personally responsible for their actions while serving on a board of directors if they have acted outside the law or failed to perform their duties properly. Directors and officers liability insurance (D&O) is designed to offer protection for directors and officers, covering legal expenses from claims brought by regulatory bodies, suppliers and vendors, employees, creditors, and customers.
Criminal penalties or offences will not be covered as this type of loss is not insurable by law
Cyber Liability Insurance
Cyber liability insurance is designed to help cover certain costs following an alleged or actual hacking event or privacy breach. EasyCover’s cyber liability coverage includes network security liability and privacy liability. It may help cover the cost of network security and privacy breach costs, business income interruption losses, defence costs, extortion fees, digital asset losses, and regulatory fines.
Every policy has a specified limit, so be sure to familiarize yourself with yours and note any exclusions or separate deductibles.
