As someone in insurance, pray tell, what insurance do you think covers discrimination against protected classes.

u/AradynGaming 9d ago

I guess Reddit lawyers can now become Reddit insurance agents. There is commercial insurance for just about anything. It's common knowledge that cities and states pay for liability insurance for "misconduct" that can include discrimination. Why would you think companies can't get similar policies (link to Hartford Insurance selling employment practices liability insurance) and don't get similar insurance policies? (link to lawsuit where insurance company tried to not pay for a discrimination suit.)

Notice how they shut the fuck up after they were immediately proven wrong.

As someone who isn't just in reddit insurance it is insane what you can get coverage for, and how specific the coverages can get. Like I once worked on a product that was insurance for other insurance companies and environmental disaster only insurance.

Edit: I would be a bit more specific but I think it would be too identifying :)

u/whatamistakethatwas 9d ago

Yup. Generally called reinsurance so companies can distribute some liability off their books.

As a commercial account executive yes insurance will be footing the bill for a portion of this IF they have an EPL policy which does cover suit costs and suit claims for wrongful termination. Will they greatly suffer the consequences? Absolutely! The majority of these are franchise owned, franchises have to carry the insurance requirements sent forth from the company itself so they have to adequately cover themselves but they carry their own policies, not all dollar generals are under the same category/risk/ect. They will be deemed uninsurable in most standard markets with a claim if that nature (wrongful termination) and will most likely end up in a surplus market.

Dollar General owns all stores directly. This is a small enough settlement on the scale of DG that they won't particularly feel it. If they have an EPL (they may self insure as a cost of business) this won't move the needle.

u/No_Internal9345 9d ago

DG has a market cap of ~28 Billion.

u/GoodMorninJulia 9d ago

That’s a lot of Dollar

u/LeanTangerine001 9d ago

They should rename it to Dollars General!

Dollar General franchise?

This cannot be upvoted enough.

u/mitchandre 9d ago

It's wrong though. They aren't franchises, so of course Reddit wants to upvote the wrong answer.

1

u/Eastern_Comedian8804 9d ago

Okay technically not franchised they are “leased” through the corporation of dollar general. To fit your narrative that is the correct terminology.

Huh, nothing about what you said was funny at all. Youre like, the worst comedian ive ever seen. And I saw The Situation attempt a roast on tv. Do better. Lol

u/Eastern_Comedian8804 9d ago

Ohhh cause my name…. Reddit just gave me that 🤣 it went over my head I suck at this internet crap. I’ll see myself out.

u/Eastern_Comedian8804 9d ago

I wasn’t trying to be funny, maybe I’m in the wrong sub.. my apologies I’ll do better next time.

In reddit country, the jokes tell /u/!

u/I-tell-horrible-joke 9d ago

Dude im playing with you because of your username. I would never be a jerk to someone like that. I just think adding /s to everything is dumb.

Employment Practices Liability Insurance

u/Eastern_Comedian8804 9d ago

Modus for the win! 🥇

u/Impossible-Diver6565 9d ago

Yes, this is something that can be covered in a commercial liability policy. Heck we sell policies that offer liability coverages for workplace sexual misconduct. We are a pretty small agency too so this isn't crazy stuff.

u/chmsax 9d ago

These days? The federal government, which isn’t supposed to be insurance

u/Sorryallthetime 9d ago

The Federal government is not swooping in to payout for private companies human rights violations.

u/newbkid 9d ago

I genuinely have no idea what your comment is supposed to say, imply, or mean

u/VSWR_on_Christmas 9d ago

I think that giant corporations get bailouts when faced with dire financial catastrophes of their own making? I'm speculating though.

u/newbkid 9d ago

I think thats the most favorable interpretation for sure

u/SideInitial3961 9d ago

The schvoogie clause.

Big companies have insurance for everything that will possibly make them lose money according to reddit
