Products Liability Insurance
All products are expected to be safe, of good quality and supplied in good working order, from electronics and other consumer goods to pharmaceuticals and other health related goods. If products don’t meet those expectations and cause injury or loss because of defects, malfunction or even incorrect instructions a law suit can be brought against you. Damages awarded can be extensive and include compensatory damages, medical costs, legal costs, economic and/or punitive damages. Such a claim can put your hard work out of business simply due to expense.
Did you know that even if you don’t manufacture a product you are selling, does not mean you are not liable for it. Consumer products manufactured and exported from outside of Canada require the same protection against alleged negligence. Resellers of products can be included in any lawsuit. And it’s not just goods manufactured overseas. Even more so if the product you are selling was manufactured in Canada or the US that only heightens your risk exposure meaning there is a greater chance of you being named in a lawsuit for alleged negligence against the product.
Insurance is one way to mitigate the risk. However we at Hubbard Insurance Group also recommend you take an active role in understanding the safety and quality of the products you manufacture, distribute, resell. Furthermore be sure there is proper safety and instruction labelling. Review the contractual obligations with your suppliers to ensure the proper wording is in place to protect your business should a loss occur.
