Generally a standard fidelity bond (first party coverage) will not cover an insured's liability to a third party even though an employee's dishonesty is what sets into motion a chain of events culminating in that liability. There is exclusionary language in many coverage form that leave a large exposure to "on client's premises" risks. Bottom line, an insured may not use a first party fidelity bond to deflect third party liability to its insurer. The unambiguous language in a commercial crime policy (fidelity bond) defining a "direct loss" is the insurer's safeguard prohibiting that very third party protection. So what do you do if you need third party fidelity coverage? Fortunately a third party form is available stand-alone.
