Yes. We exclusively place coverage with insurers rated "A" (Excellent) or better by AM Best. This ensures financial strength to pay claims and provides peace of mind that your coverage will be there when you need it.
Standard product liability covers claims arising from product defects. Product recall expense — including notification, retrieval, and disposal — is a separate endorsement we recommend for all manufacturers. We include quotes for both.
General liability covers premises and operations. Products liability covers claims arising from your manufactured goods after they leave your premises. Manufacturers need both — and we structure them together on a unified program.
