Did you know:
- Employment Practice Liability Insurance Judgments, or EPLI Judgment awards increased almost 3 fold at 275% in recent years.
- Employment Practices Liability issues comprise 30% of all civil litigation in the U.S. Court.
- Age discrimination liability suits are rising more than any other sector of EPL cases.
- According to court verdicts, the employee is deemed right most of the time.
- The Department of Labor cites that, employees and other plaintiffs won almost half or 41% of all jury decided trials and 26% of all non-jury trials.
- Punitive damages being assessed 19% of the time.
The fact is sexual harassment, discrimination, and other employment related suits are on the rise – and they can bankrupt your company. According to national data from Jury Verdict Research®, for smaller companies that do not have Employment Practices Liability Insurance or maintain EPLI, the average cost to defend employment practices law suits are in excess of $100,000 for a single plaintiff and class action suits ranging over $3,000,000.
