Employment Practices Liability Statistics

Some businesses may consider going without Employment Practices Liability (EPL) coverage to save money.

 

Others mistakenly assume they are covered under their general liability policies, which most often have a standard exclusion for employment practices liability exposures.

 

Unfortunately, those businesses that suffer the consequences of an employment-related lawsuit are the very ones that can least afford the potentially debilitating costs that can result from even a single EPL claim.

  • The average cost of an EEOC lawsuit in 2009 exceeded $235,000
