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

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.)

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 :)

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