Zurich Unveils Solution for Pet Owners

Zurich announced the release of an integrated management liability solution to address the specialized needs of owners of boarding kennels, doggie daycares and pet grooming operations.

The plan offers directors and officers (D&O) liability coverage integrated with employment practices liability insurance and risk management services that can be combined in a single form.

We recognize that owners of these specialized businesses face unique challenges, said David Donovan, vice president of Zurichs Management Solutions Group. Like other organizations, however, they are vulnerable to lawsuits based on claims of mismanagement, breach of fiduciary duty and employment practices. To address these concerns, Zurich offers one of the broadest forms available today.

Key features of the plan include:

  • Directors & officers liability additional limit $1 million defense
  • Employment practices liability additional limit $1 million defense
  • Domestic partner coverage
  • Prior acts coverage
  • Duty to defend policy
  • Outside directorship coverage
  • Claims made within the policy period
  • Entity coverage with no products liability exclusion
  • Global coverage
  • Punitive damages coverage

Zurich also provides a suite of risk management tools to help policyholders manage potential exposures. These complimentary services include educational resources about current employment law issues, compliance training for management and staff, and access to legal hotline services.
