Practice Areas > Church Officer Liability
According to the Nonprofit Insurance Alliance of California, the average cost to defend an employment claim against an officer or director is $35,000. One in ten cost more than $100,000. Due to the nature of certain allegations or the wording of church bylaws, some claims against an officer or director are not covered by insurance.
Even when such claims are unfounded or defensible, facing the prospect of personal liability is stressful for even the most faithful officer or director. In some situations the personal interests of the involved officer or director are not in line with the best interests of the organization, giving rise to a conflict of interest.
