Innovative Coverage
The Chubb Primary Fiduciary Liability insurance product incorporates new offerings that customers commonly request, as well as coverage innovations that are completely new to the market.
New Coverage Innovations
We’ve added innovations that are completely new to the market:
- Failure to Enroll Demand Coverage – Coverage for plan enrollment errors where the injured party has not filed a formal Claim, which empowers Insureds to quickly resolve sensitive matters, all within the context of Chubb’s renowned coverage for benefits that would have been due but for the failure to enroll.
- Penalty Suite Additional Sublimit of Liability – An additional sublimit (within policy limits) for fines and penalties which floats above all other fine and penalty sublimits for customers to use if a specific fine or penalty sublimit has been exhausted.
