Failure to Insure Exclusion def:
The failure to insure exclusion is found primarily in directors and officers (D&O) liability policies and, to a lesser extent, in public officials liability policies. The failure to insure exclusion precludes coverage for claims made against insureds when claimants suffer losses resulting from failure to purchase insurance coverage, provided such coverage was available. Many have criticized the rationale for the failure to insure exclusion because intentional self-insurance—even if an organization suffers a significant loss—is often a sound business decision, especially in the long term. In recent years, however, underwriters have become more amenable to removing the failure to insure exclusion, provided the insureds submit a summary of the organization’s insurance program.
