Errors & Omissions
Chubb Commercial Insurance

Life sciences companies are facing greater risk today — influenced by the rapid changes in the legal and regulatory environment. Errors & omissions liability protection is an essential element of a comprehensive insurance program, designed to help protect a company against claims for financial injury that allege a product failed or allege the company failed to perform services.

Chubb offers many features that are not often available in standard industry policies.

  • Oral & written contractual liability insurance is provided for insured contracts and includes the obligation to defend an indemnitee where provided by such contract.
  • Financial injury compensation to a third party resulting from the need to stop using a product due to the risk of future bodily injury or property damage
  • Notice of circumstances provision provides the opportunity to preserve insurance for known circumstances that may result in a claim.
  • Exceptions to common E&O exclusions, including Bodily Injury, Damage to Property, Governmental Claims or Proceedings, and Health Care Professional Services.

Why would a company need Customarq for Life Sciences? Consider the following scenarios:

A research organization loses trial data collected and stored by them per their contract with the National Institutes of Health. Although government claims and proceedings are excluded in most Errors & Omissions forms, the Customarq for Life Sciences policy responds to a financial injury claim made by a governmental authority.

A manufacturer of MRI equipment issues a notice concerning the failure of one model. A hospital owns two of the failed models and endures the lengthy repairs. While unable to use the MRI machines, the hospital decreases its patient load and refers patients to other hospitals. The hospital claims reduced revenue for the patients turned away. The Errors & Omissions policy in Customarq for Life Sciences responds to the financial injury claim made against the MRI manufacturer.
