Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI)

Employment Practices Liability Insurance focuses primarily on protecting against claims of wrongful termination, discrimination and harassment, but can also cover a host of other wrongful employment actions. An employer is more likely to have an EPLI claim than a liability or property claim. In the past 5 years, 60% of organizations have been sued for discrimination or harassment.
