Product Liability insurance is part of a system created to protect businesses from the risk of potential lawsuits or claims due to damages attributable to the company. Without proper protection, a business can be held financially accountable for any injuries, property damage, and legal costs incurred by the claimant.

Due to the severe costs associated with such a claim, many businesses small and large opt for liability insurance protection to safeguard themselves in the event of litigation.
