In December of 2016, a furniture chain agreed to pay $50 million to settle a lawsuit after its dressers tipped and fatally injured small children. All product manufacturers, designers, and retailers are exposed to a multitude of risks that can end in litigation.
With manufacturing and retail contributing $3.8 trillion to the U.S. economy, there is a vast need for protection in these industries. However, some products are too hazardous to be included in a standard CGL policy as they have an obvious potential for costly and widespread lawsuits. New products can also be excluded as they lack a track record leaving insurers with no way to gauge future risks involved. In both instances, a monoline Products Liability policy may be necessary to supplement a client’s CGL coverage.
Paperless Insurance helps pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals/nutritional supplements, and aircraft parts risks, offering both occurrence-based and claims-made forms to protect your business.
