Product liability

Scope of cover

The policy offers to indemnify the legal liability that you incur as a result of bodily injury or property damage caused by the use of your products after they are sold or supplied.

How to choose the sum insured

The sum insured must be chosen taking a worst case scenario including the number of persons who could be injured or who could contract illness or disease after the use of the products. In case of exports, adjustments must be made in keeping with local laws. To the maximum possible legal liability that you may incur, please add the possible legal expenses that will be incurred since the sum insured includes legal costs.

The full range of benefits available under the policy is detailed therein and is subject to the terms, conditions and exclusions applicable to the cover. A copy of the policy wording is available on request, and will be sent to you upon the acceptance of your proposal.
