Hi Cyndy I have worked in insurance for over 30 years with the last roughly 20 in what is know as Excess & Surplus Lines.. This would be the tough classes of business, non standard type including but not limited to D & O... Without reading the policy I could not answer that question. Virtually no policy covers illegal acts.... Most do not cover intentional acts... A lot depends on the situation and since I don't know all the details and have not read the policy I would not be able to answer your question. Nor should anyone else who does not have the information. In some lines of insurance basic forms are standard while in others they are not. I find that Directors and Officers as well as Errors and omission insurance are generally not standard policy forms. At least from my end of the business which is again the "More Unique" out of the ordinary classes of business. Hope that helps... Probably not!
