Directors
and Officers Liability Insurance covers directors / officers committee
members when being personally sued as a result of their actions in the
course of their duties. Directors and Officers may be held personally

In
some cases this could mean personal assets such as your house could be

practices. Directors and officers can be sued by their employees,
creditors, clients, competitors, the public, government agencies or
liquidators in the event of liquidation.
