Liability cover for the claims a business cannot absorb

Liability exposures are the ones that exceed the balance sheet. Public liability answers for injury and property damage to third parties, product liability for harm caused by what you sell, professional indemnity for advice and service failures, and directors’ and officers’ cover for personal claims against the board. Each has its own trigger, and mixing them up is how gaps appear.

Liability cover your contracts ask for

Manufacturers supplying OEMs in Oragadam and Sriperumbudur are usually required by the supply contract to carry commercial general liability and product liability cover, often with a stated limit and the customer named as an additional insured. IT and consulting firms on OMR and in Guindy get the same request for professional indemnity from overseas clients, and funded startups get it for D&O from their investors. We read the contract clause first and place a policy that actually satisfies it.
