What is a Product Liability Insurance Policy?
A Product Liability Insurance is a type of Insurance Policy which reimburses the Insured Person for the Defence Costs and Compensatory Damages that the Insured becomes legally liable to pay on account of the Bodily Injury and Property Damage caused by an Insured Company’s faulty products.
Commonly, a consumer of the company may sue the Insured for compensation if he/she suffers a bodily injury or illness because of consuming the company’s products. Alternatively, if using the company’s products causes Property Damage, even then the consumer might sue the Company.
A Product Liability Insurance Policy pays the legal expenses and compensatory damages awarded by the court in such cases.
