Employment Practices Liability Insurance
Are you a business owner in Ohio looking for EPLI Insurance? We can help!
EPLI covers businesses against claims by workers that their legal rights as employees of the company have been violated.
The number of lawsuits filed by employees against their employers has been rising. While most suits are filed against large corporations, no company is immune to such lawsuits.
Recognizing that smaller companies now need this kind of protection, some insurers provide this coverage as an endorsement to their Business-owners Policy (BOP). An endorsement changes the terms and conditions of the policy.
Other companies offer EPLI as stand-alone coverage.
EPLI provides protection against many kinds of employee lawsuits, including claims of:
- Sexual harassment
- Discrimination
- Wrongful termination
- Breach of employment contract
- Negligent evaluation
- Failure to employ or promote
- Wrongful discipline
- Deprivation of career opportunity
- Wrongful infliction of emotional distress
- Mismanagement of employee benefit plans
How much does EPLI Coverage Cost in Ohio?
The cost of EPLI coverage depends on your type of business, the number of employees you have, and various risk factors such as whether your company has been sued over employment practices in the past.
The policies will reimburse your company against the costs of defending a lawsuit in court and for judgments and settlements.
The policy covers legal costs, whether your company wins or loses the suit. Policies also typically do not pay for punitive damages or civil or criminal fines.
Liabilities covered by other insurance policies such as workers’ compensation are excluded from EPLI policies.
To prevent employee lawsuits, educate your managers and employees so that you minimize problems in the first place:
- Create effective hiring and screening programs to avoid discrimination in hiring.
- Post corporate policies throughout the workplace and place them in employee handbooks so policies are clear to everyone.
- Show employees what steps to take if they are the object of sexual harassment or discrimination by a supervisor. Make sure supervisors know where the company stands on what behaviors are not permissible.
- Document everything that occurs and the steps your company is taking to prevent and solve employee disputes.

We've used eGoodwin for the business I work for the past couple of years and the willingness to answer questions and help with claims is always done quickly and professionally. The staff is very friendly as well and they found us the lowest rate out of any agency we inquired with.On a personal side, after a tree fell in my yard last year my home owner's insurance (that I did not get through eGoodwin) doubled. I called Mark, and he and Nikki were able to get me a new policy with better coverage and a lower premium than I had before the tree fell.I would (and have) highly recommend Mark and his staff for any insurance needs.
Doug MacClements
We have been with Egoodwin Insurance for over 10 years. Their customer service is impeccable and irreplaceable. During every life change, they have helped get us the best policies that fit our family. We have checked rates with other companies over the years, but have stayed with them because they simply get our family needs- we are not just a number. The staff tirelessly answer all of our questions about each policy change.
