Product Liability Insurance
Product Liability Insurance is a vital component of a business’s risk management strategy—especially for companies that manufacture, distribute, or sell products.
This type of insurance policy protects you from claims and compensation demands that may arise due to incidents such as illness, injury, or property damage caused by the use of your product(s).
This coverage is essential not only for manufacturers, but also for suppliers and retailers, as—contrary to common belief—everyone in the supply chain shares legal responsibility, not just the manufacturer.
