Such coverage can extend to defense costs arising out of criminal and regulatory investigations/trials as well; in fact, often civil and criminal actions are brought against directors/officers simultaneously.

Because CGL policies are products of insurance industry draftsmanship, courts in most jurisdictions construe any ambiguities in favor of the policyholder.
Group Medical Policy
Group health insurance coverage (GMC) is a policy that is purchased by an employer and is offered to eligible employees of the company (and often to the employees' family members) as a benefit of working for that company. A group health insurance plan is a key component of many employee benefits packages that employers provide for employees. One of the advantages for employees in a group health plan is the contribution most employers make toward the cost of the health coverage premium. These plans are generally uniform in nature, offering the same benefits to all employees or members of the group.
Group Personal Accident
Unforeseen circumstances often interrupt the efficiency of employees and thus directly affecting business operations. To cushion against this disturbances, an employer may opt to take the Group Accident Cover so as to try and ensure that employees remain able to contribute the success of the business. This is generally a Personal Accident Cover for each employee. It differs from an Individual Personal Cover because the company itself pays premiums for each employee. The benefits payable under this policy may be fixed as multiples of employee’s earnings or as fixed sum per person.
