What is

Product Liability Insurance?

Product Liability Insurance covers a business financially from any possible claims a customer might make if injury, illness or death occurs from the use of one of their defective products. A product can be classified as software, equipment or food that the business has supplied. If this occurs, the business will have the financials available to pay for any legal fees or medical costs that arise. Without this type of insurance, the business will have to use its own money.

Protect Your Business Against Faulty Product Claims

Get insured in case your product causes harm, injury, or loss to customers.

This insurance covers your business if a customer is harmed by a product you sell or supply. It pays for medical costs, legal defence, compensation for income loss, and long-term treatment related to the incident.

Businesses that make, distribute, or sell products—especially in food, clothing, toys, or industrial goods—should consider this cover. Even one defect could lead to a lawsuit or medical claim.

Small businesses usually don’t have the cash reserves to deal with legal claims or compensation costs. This cover offers peace of mind by reducing financial risk if something goes wrong.
