    What Does Product Liability Insurance Cover?

    Bodily Injury

    Covers medical expenses and legal fees if your product causes injury to consumers. Whether due to a defect or improper use, this coverage protects you from the financial impact of injury claims.

    Property Damage

    Provides protection against claims for damages to third-party property caused by your product. If a product malfunction leads to property damage, our policy covers the associated costs, safeguarding your business assets.

    Design Defects

    Addresses claims related to flaws in your product's design. Even if your product was manufactured correctly, defects in its design can pose significant risks, and this coverage helps manage those potential liabilities.

    Manufacturing Defects

    Covers defects that occur during the production process. If an error during manufacturing results in a faulty product that causes harm, our insurance will cover the associated expenses.

    Improper Warnings

    Protects against claims arising from inadequate usage instructions or warnings. If consumers misuse your product due to unclear labelling or instructions, you’re covered for any resulting claims.

    Who Should Consider Product Liability Insurance?

    Manufacturers

    If your company produces goods, you need protection against potential defects in design or production. A single product-related claim can lead to substantial financial losses and legal costs, making insurance a vital part of risk management.

    Distributors

    As a distributor, you play a key role in the supply chain. If the products you supply to retailers or consumers are found to be defective, you could be held liable. Product Liability Insurance ensures you’re shielded from these unexpected claims.

    Retailers

    Retailers face exposure to claims related to the products they sell. Even if you did not manufacture the product, selling it directly to consumers can make you vulnerable to claims for injuries or property damage. This insurance provides a safeguard, allowing you to focus on your business confidently.

    Suppliers

    Companies that provide raw materials or components used in manufacturing are not immune to product-related risks. If a defect in the materials you supply leads to an issue with the final product, you could be held accountable. Product Liability Insurance helps protect your business from these risks.

    Key Policy Features

    Coverage Limits

    Our Product Liability Insurance offers flexible coverage limits to suit your business's needs. We specify the maximum payout per claim and provide an aggregate limit for the policy period, ensuring that your business is adequately protected against multiple claims throughout the year.

    Adjustable Deductibles

    You can select from a range of deductible options to control your premium costs. Choosing a higher deductible generally results in lower premium payments, allowing you to balance coverage and affordability according to your business's risk tolerance and financial strategy.

    Exclusions

    To set clear expectations, our policy includes specific exclusions. Common exclusions include breaches of contract, economic losses not linked to personal injury or property damage, and product recall costs unless specified in your policy.

    Policy Duration

    Our standard policy is offered on an annual basis, providing year-round protection. However, we understand that some projects may require short-term coverage, so we also offer policies tailored to the duration of specific projects or events.

    Customisation

    Every business has unique risks, and at MIR, we offer tailored solutions to meet those needs. You can enhance your policy with add-ons such as Product Recall Expenses (Cover the costs of recalling defective products from the market) and Strict Liability Coverage (Provides protection even when you’re held liable without proven negligence).
