Insurance by coverage

Fiduciary liability insurance for cannabis businesses

Fiduciary liability insurance focuses on duties connected to employee benefit plans and is distinct from directors and officers liability. The review should identify each plan, the people and organizations responsible for it, and any prior concern involving participants or plan administration.

Coverage and availability depend on the account, state, insurer and underwriting review. General information and nonbinding indications do not bind insurance; the applicable binder, policy, endorsements and law govern coverage.

Important insurance information

This guide is general information and does not determine coverage or legal requirements for your business. Policy terms, exclusions, conditions and available options vary. Contact the appropriate licensed insurance representative about your account, request confirmation of any coverage placed, and review the applicable insurance documents. An application, inquiry or nonbinding indication does not by itself bind or change insurance.
