Did you know that 20% of civil cases involve employment?

As an employer, you are more likely to be sued by someone who works for you than by an outsider. Twenty-five years ago, the risks associated with employment practices were nearly unknown. Today, claims of wrongful termination, sexual harassment, discrimination or violation of statutes protecting individuals in the workplace can imperil a company's financial health and public image.

The potential for runaway jury awards is causing employers to settle for amounts in the millions. Win or lose, the cost to defend a lawsuit can be enormous.

Following are some examples of employment-related claims:

• Wrongful Termination
• Sexual Harassment
• Age discrimination
• Racial discrimination
• Sex discrimination
• Religious discrimination
• Pregnancy discrimination
• Defamation
• Emotional distress
• ADA-related action (disabilities-related claims)
• Family and Medical Leave Act actions

An Employment Practices Liability policy covers defense costs, charges and expenses incurred in conjunction with a claim or suit filed against you.
