Product Liability Insurance

PRODUCT LIABILITY INSURANCE

What is Product Liability Insurance?

Product liability insurance can cover the cost of compensation claims if someone is injured or their property is damaged by a product that you have sold or manufactured. It will generally cover legal fees as well as compensation costs.

Insurance Obligations

You are obliged to be truthful with the insurer and tell them about any material facts. There is no legal requirement to hold product liability insurance but you will often find that distributors, manufacturers, retailers, suppliers and other persons in the distribution chain require you to have cover. Given that you can be sued for damage or harm caused by your products, if you manufacture, distribute or sell products it is highly advisable in most cases to have product liability cover.

How much does Product Liability Insurance Cost?

The cost of product liability insurance is based on a number of factors including the industry that you operate in and turnover.
