What D&O Insurance Covers and How Summit Helps

D&O insurance protects directors and officers from personal financial losses tied to management decisions—e.g., alleged breach of duty, negligence, fiduciary violations—and funds legal defense and indemnification where applicable. Summit compares leading insurers, curates coverage to company stage and sector, and supports policy changes as organizations grow. See: Directors & Officers Insurance.

• Core exposures addressed: management decisions that allegedly cause financial loss; regulatory and governance disputes; investor, creditor, or stakeholder claims.

• Pricing drivers consistently cited across Summit pages: industry and risk profile, revenue/size, experience, location, and claims history. See examples across Business Insurance, Professional Liability, and community pages (e.g., Vancouver, Kelowna).

• Service model: responsive brokerage, value via market comparisons, and dedicated account management. See About Summit.
