PRODUCT LIABILITY CLAIMS

Common issues

In law a product must be fit for purpose and businesses can be held liable for any personal injury or damage a faulty product might cause. Getting to grips with where liability might lie in such cases is complex in itself. This is especially true if your company is responsible for part of the manufacturing process but there are other issues to consider. A Product Liability claim can also result in a business losing its ability to generate income. Disputes often arise from:

  • Misunderstanding of specialist clauses in the schedule of cover or policy wording
  • Establishing the timescales imposed on policyholders relating to claims notifications
  • Ensuring personal injury claims are handled correctly so that an insurer’s position is not prejudiced by any statement or action taken by the policyholder
  • Your company sub-contracting either the whole manufacturing process or a particular process required in the overall manufacture of your product (fault in either of these processes can result in a claim being made against your company exposing you to significant losses)

It’s easy to get confused between Loss Assessors and Loss Adjusters.

Loss Assessors are appointed by individuals and businesses to negotiate settlement of a claim with your insurers.

Loss Adjusters are appointed by your insurers to assess the validity and size of your claim based on the policy terms and conditions.
