What is Product Liability Insurance?
Product liability is the area of law in which manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, retailers, and others who make products available to the general public are held responsible for the injuries/ damages due to those products.
A products liability claim is usually based on one or more of the following causes:
- Manufacturing or Production Flaws – a claim that some part of the production process created an unsafe defect in the resulting product.
- Design Defect – a claim that the design of the product is inherently unsafe.
- Defective Warnings or Instructions – a claim that the product was not properly labeled or had insufficient warnings for the consumer to understand the risk.
The claims may succeed even when products were used incorrectly by the consumer, as long as the incorrect use was foreseeable by the manufacturer (or another party in the “supply chain”).
In general, product liability claims are not based on negligence, but rather on strict liability. Under the theory of strict liability, a manufacturer is held liable regardless of whether the act was due to negligence or not. It allows recovery for an injured customer (who might be in a difficult position) to prove what a manufacturer did or did not do in its design or manufacturing process.
Product liability insurance is designed to protect the business from claims resulting from accidental death/bodily injury or accidental damage to a property belonging to a third.
What is covered?
Product Liability insurance is designed to cover your Liability at law and compensate for:
and caused by anything manufactured sold or supplied including containers and packaging, anything constructed erected or installed, and anything repaired serviced tested or processed by the Insured or any employee of the Insured within the declared Territorial Limits.
The policy covers the claimant’s costs and insured’s own legal expenses.
The policy is on a ‘claims made’ basis. ‘Claims made’ means that Coverage will respond to incidents arising on or after the policy retroactive date and which are reported during the term of the policy.
What is not covered?
Period of Insurance
The coverage is provided for a period of 12 months.
Basis of Sum Insured
In Products Liability Insurance, the sum insured is referred to as Limit of Indemnity. This limit is fixed per occurrence (Any one occurrence = AOO) and usually has a ceiling on number of occurrences during the period.
Deductible
A deductible for each and every loss under the policy may be applicable under some sections of the policy.
