What does Chubb Insurance offer?

Chubb Insurance offers enterprise-wide solutions with specialised products for General Liability, Products and Human Clinical Trials Liability and Errors & Omissions. These products are precisely crafted for life sciences companies:

• The hybrid General Liability policy offers a dual trigger-an occurrence trigger for Premises/Operations and a claims-made trigger for Products Hazard Liability. Traditional stand-alone policies are also available.
• Errors & Omissions insurance helps protect businesses from lawsuits that allege financial losses due to failure of products or services to perform to specifications. It can be customised to respond to losses resulting from the need to stop using a product due to the risk of future bodily injury or property damage.

Chubb's multinational infrastructure delivers these insurance solutions on a global basis with a coordinated approach and dependable quality.
