We offer directors and officers liability insurance to public companies, private companies, nonprofit organizations, partnerships, and joint ventures located in Michigan.

In addition to shareholders, D&O lawsuits are also frequently brought by customers, employees, competitors and regulators.

How are D&O insurance premiums determined in Michigan?

Insurance companies in Michigan each have their specific and mostly unique rating plan which is used to calculate D&O insurance premiums. The basic factors of a D&O insurance rating plan are typically the entity's assets and the selected limit of liability and deductible. There are multiple other factors which can impact the D&O premium calculation, including the Michigan entity's specific industry, experience of management, claim history, and the number of years in business.

The D&O premium of Michigan for-profit entities can also be impacted by recent or prospective mergers & acquisitions, profitability, market capitalization, and quality of balance sheet.

Because D&O premiums can vary widely by insurance company, we usually request quotes from multiple insurance companies.
