SEXUAL MISCONDUCT AND MOLESTATION LIABILITY

THE GREATEST EMPLOYEE SCREENING PRACTICES AREN’T FAIL PROOF.

And neither are supervisory best practices employed by many organizations today. There’s nothing more tragic than the sexual misconduct headlines we see daily. Illicit acts pose major safety challenges and liability concerns for organizations of all sizes. Defending allegations, even if untrue, can be difficult, protracted and expensive. But Sexual Misconduct and Molestation Liability insurance –  often referred to as Sexual Molestation Liability or SML coverage — can be tough to find. Often General Liability (GL) carriers are reluctant to write it, and if they do, sub-limit the coverage to $100,000 or less. To meet the demand for better coverage, Business Risk Partners offers an insurance product with comprehensive risk management for all types of organizations particularly those entrusted with the care of minors and vulnerable adults.
