How are D&O insurance premiums determined in Colorado?

Insurance companies in Colorado 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, the selected limit of liability and deductible and whether the entity is privately or publicly owned. There are multiple other factors which can impact the D&O premium calculation, including the Colorado entity's specific industry, experience of management, claim history, and the number of years in business.

The D&O premium in can also be impacted by recent or prospective mergers & acquisitions, profitability, market capitalization, and quality of the balance sheet.

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