Key Differences in D&O Insurance

Standalone or expanded management-liability package

AIG offers D&O standalone or modular with other management-liability coverages. Coverdash arranges standalone D&O as a broker and explicitly separates it from its broader management-liability product, which adds optional employment-practices, fiduciary, and crime protection to a D&O core. For a buyer weighing a single line against adjacent management risks, Coverdash makes that bundle boundary clear; ask AIG which lines can be combined under its modular option and whether they share limits. 3 7

Coverage and purchase process

AIG describes coverage for executive and corporate-governance exposures and provides product application forms. Coverdash says its D&O covers directors, officers, and the company for claims alleging financial harm from leadership decisions, including investor suits and regulatory investigations, and describes a fully digital quote-to-purchase process. That online route may be relevant for a company wanting a digital transaction, but the record does not identify the insurer or exact limits for a specific buyer. Compare the carrier, policy definitions, and defense terms before purchase. 3 7

What to Confirm in D&O Insurance Quotes

  • Ask Coverdash to name the issuing carrier, limits, and whether its digital quote includes the desired management-liability add-ons. 7
  • Ask AIG which modular coverages and application materials apply to the proposed D&O placement. 3

Customer ratings for AIG are low: Trustpilot shows 1.9 out of 5 from 252 reviews, and NerdWallet gives 2.5 stars and notes more claims complaints than expected. These pages cover many AIG products and countries, so they only loosely describe business insurance.[1][2]
