What is product liability insurance?
Product liability insurance covers the cost of claims made against your products including court costs and settlement costs.
If your business makes or sells a product and that product causes some sort of injury, property damage or sickness, your business could be held responsible. Product liability insurance covers the cost of claims made against your products including court costs and settlement costs. And it is just as important for business-to-business products as it is for business-to-consumer products.
