Product Liability

Product Liability Insurance provides cover in respect of the Insured’s legal liability to third parties for bodily injury or damage to property caused by the nature, condition or quality of the Insured’s Products.

The Covers

The principal covers and benefits shown in this document are not exhaustive descriptions. You should read the Policy Wording and Policy Schedule to know the details of covers and benefits available, any limits which apply and the terms and conditions that apply. You should also read any exclusions that apply.

The Insurers will pay all sums that the Insured becomes legally obligated to pay as damages because of “bodily injury” or “property damage” included within the “Product Hazard” to which this insurance applies.

“Product Hazard” means:

b. Does not include “bodily injury” or “property damage” arising out of:

• The transportation of property, unless the injury or damage arises out of a condition in or on a vehicle not owned or operated by you, and that condition was created by the “loading or unloading” of that vehicle by any Insured; or
• The existence of tools, uninstalled equipment or abandoned or unused materials.
