Product Liability Insurance

Product liability insurance can help protect a business from claims that the products they manufactured or sold caused bodily injury or damage to another person’s property. This insurance can cover design and manufacturing defects, strict liability, and improper warning about the use of the product for many industries including manufacturers, retailers, and wholesalers.

Berkley has a team of claims and underwriting experts who understand the risks facing businesses that make or sell products. We provide product liability insurance for a broad array of risks, including new products, discontinued products and products sold outside of the U.S. on either a stand-alone policy or included with general liability insurance.

Product Liability Insurance Can Help Protect Your Business

Operating your business without product liability insurance can expose you to out of pocket expenses and financial risks. Any business that makes or sells products should have product liability insurance, which can help cover the costs of a customer’s medical bills, reimburse a customer for damage to their property, legal fees defending your business, and settlements or judgements made against your business. 

 

Product Liability enhancement coverages typically available include:

  • Products Pollution – affirmative coverage grants for containment type products and/or products deemed as pollutant. 
  • Worldwide Products Coverage – extension for product claims occurring and claims brought anywhere in the world. 
  • Manufacturer's E&O – can cover a manufacturing mistake or negligent service that results in a third party financial or economic loss. 
  • Care Custody Control (CCC) Coverage – extension for damage to Equipment/Customers Autos while being serviced and/or repaired. 
  • Limited Product Withdrawal Expense – can provide reimbursement for expenses related to a product recall. 
  • Canadian Cross-Border Coverage – extension for Canadian premises exposures.
