As an entrepreneur, you take risks. But some risks are too big to bear on your own. Not only as an entrepreneur, but also as an employer. For example, you could be held liable if an employee causes material damage to a customer or has an accident.

  • Damage caused by third parties arising from non-compliance with a contract, incorrect or negligent service provision.
  • Depending on the insurance company: cyber risks. Liability for damage suffered by third parties as a result of a cyber attack.
  • Depending on the insurer: costs of third parties for reporting loss of personal data or cyber extortion.
  • Legal assistance.
  • Usually, business liability insurance (employer's liability, material damage, and injury to third parties) can be included. This is often cheaper than insuring separately.

  • Already known circumstances of damage before policy commencement
  • Environmental pollution
  • Directors’ liability
  • Fraud and wilful misconduct- penalty clause, indemnity clause, guarantee clause, warrenty clause or similar clause, except if the liability would have existed even without this clause

Frequently asked questions

Is a Corporate Liability Insurance mandatory?

A Corporate liability insurance is not legally required. However, there are many situations where it is useful or necessary to take out such insurance. After all, everyone can make mistakes and the damage can be significant. A customer, client, or industry organisation may also require or demand this from you.

What is the difference between Corporate Liability and Professional Liability?

With the Corporate Liability Insurance, only damage to persons or property is insured, but not pure capital loss. Capital loss is financial damage caused by professional errors such as incorrect advice. With a Professional Liability Insurance, you are insured for this risk.

Can i deviate from my Terms and Conditions? 

You are not obligated to adhere to specific contract terms. Deviating from these or accepting clients' delivery terms is not a problem. You do not have to submit this to us for approval. However, we do advise you to declare the general terms and conditions wherever possible, as it limits your liability towards third parties.

What does "insured capacity" mean?

The insured capacity indicates the type of activities you perform. The insurer assesses the risk based on this capacity and may exclude activities in the event of a claim if they were not aware of these. It is very important that the insured capacity is described in such a way that it covers all activities. Make the description as broad as possible and check this capacity yearly. 

Does this insurance provide cover in the US and Canada?

No. Claims filed in the United States and/or Canada (or based on the law of these countries) are excluded. Insurers do not provide this coverage as standard because the damage amounts and legal assistance there are much higher than here. In some cases, we have coverage for this exclusion and can provide coverage for this jurisdiction as well.

What does Prior Acts Coverage and Extended Reporting Period mean? 
Prior Acts Coverage

This is damage whose cause predates the start of the insurance, but is discovered during the policy period. This so-called retroactive cover is not covered by default, but can sometimes be purchased for an additional period. This allows you to insure yourself against damages that are not yet known, but could potentially arise.

Extended Reporting Period (ERP)

The opposite of Prior Acts Coverage: damage that manifests after the insured period has expired, but whose cause falls within that period. Again, you can insure against this ERP cover for a number of years. This is often offered by insurers after termination. 

My company is being held liable. What now?

As soon as you are found liable, you should report it to us. We advise you not to admit liability immediately, but to submit it to the insurer first. 

Does Blue Risk advise on other insurances?

Absolutely. We are specialists in complex risks, but are happy to help you protect agains some of the more mundane corporate risks. Think of corporate insurance for buildings, inventory, transport, business damage, accidents, corporate travel and employee insurance.

We don't advise on pension and other life insurances.

Er zijn verzekeraars die dit dekken, maar niet allemaal. Kijk dus goed naar de verschillen.

De hoedanigheid geeft aan wat voor soort activiteiten je verricht. De verzekeraar schat hierop het risico in en zou werkzaamheden kunnen uitsluiten bij een schade als ze hiervan niet op de hoogte waren. Het is heel belangrijk dat de verzekerde hoedanigheid zo is omschreven sat alle activiteiten eronder vallen. Maak de omschrijving zo ruim mogelijk en controleer elk jaar of deze nog klopt.
