General liability

General liability insurance for manufacturers and hardware businesses.

We compare liability options for customer injuries, property damage, and claims involving your finished products.

General liability insurance can address allegations that your operations or products injured someone or damaged their property. We source options for manufacturing and hardware businesses, checking the exclusions and distinguishing liability coverage from the cost of replacing your own defective product.

We present your products accurately to the market

We build the submission around what the product does and who uses it. Components supplied to manufacturers, finished devices sold to customers, and installation work each need an accurate description when requesting liability quotes.

  • Products sold and markets served
  • Assembly, testing and quality-control responsibilities
  • Customer installation and maintenance activities

We check customer insurance requirements

We compare requests for additional-insured status, limits, and products-completed operations cover with the actual endorsements offered. Where the terms fall short of a customer requirement, we raise the issue and seek available alternatives.

  • Supply and distribution agreement insurance clauses
  • Additional-insured wording and its conditions
  • Per-occurrence and aggregate limits

We explain the limits of product liability cover

We point out exclusions for repairing your own product, fulfilling warranties, and recalling a batch. If those costs matter to your operation, we identify the need to consider separate coverage instead of treating them as ordinary liability claims.

  • Damage to your product or your work
  • Recall and replacement expenses
  • Professional services and employee injury exclusions

A supplied part damages other equipment

If a customer alleges that your component damaged its machinery, the liability claim and the cost of replacing the component raise different coverage questions. We explain that distinction when comparing policies and read the product exclusions against your supply agreement.
