Description
Summary:The insurance world often seems to mirror the world at large. Take, for example, one of the salacious sideshows of the recent midterm elections involving a Congressman's transmission of inappropriate e-mails to a young intern. Coincidentally, the insurance implications of various sordid misdeeds was reviewed in a Sep 6 decision from a federal court in Virginia.

If you want coverage for claims by employees, purchase coverage specifically for such claims.
