Why is EPLI Coverage Important?
Employee lawsuits can be expensive. According to HR Morning, a news site for HR Professionals, the average EPLI lawsuit settlement is roughly $125,000 and the median judgement against employers is about $200,000. 25% of judgements are even more than $500,000. Those costs don’t include additional expenses, such as lost productivity or reputational damage, and often it can be hard to defend yourself in an employee lawsuit. You don’t want a potential million-dollar decision to be based on abstract testimony from both the employer and employee. That’s why its smart to have EPLI coverage to provide the funds to handle your defense and settle lawsuits quickly.
Protected Claims
Laws like the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Family Medical Leave Act outline standards employers have to meet. When employers break these rules, even without meaning to, they may face a lawsuit. Employment practices coverage helps businesses handle the cost of these suits.
Wrongful Termination
Workplace Discrimination
Unfavorable treatment due to national origin, race, ethnicity and/or disability.
Breach of Employment Contract
Violation of one or more terms of an employee’s contract.
Sexual Harassment

Wrongful Discipline

Emotional or Mental Distress

Ponemon Institute – Cost of Data Breach Study
The 2017 Cost of Data Breach Study from the Ponemon Institute, sponsored by IBM, puts the global average cost at $3.6 million, or $141 per data record. It’s also worth noting that the average cost of a data breach in the United States is much higher at $7.3 million.
The size of the breach is also, obviously an important factor in determining the overall cost. For a breach that results in less than 10,000 records being compromised, the average total cost is $1.9 million, but for 50,000 or more that rises to $6.3 million.
As the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) comes into effect in May, the cost of non-compliance could be about to skyrocket. It’s also worth remembering the potential for reputational damage to cause a downswing in any company’s fortunes.
Breaches will happen, but how you act to mitigate them has a very real impact on the bottom line. While the initial data breach is certain to cost money to fix, things get a great deal more expensive when they’re mishandled.
