Beazley vs Newfront Product Liability Insurance

Beazley includes products/completed operations coverage as one of the core coverages in its Life Sciences package, bundled in a single policy form (BioSecure) alongside errors and omissions, healthcare professional liability and general liability rather than sold as a standalone product-liability policy. ^5,6Company-reported. Life Sciences and BioSecure product pages; the bundled structure applies to this life-sciences segment, not a general commercial product-liability offering.

Newfront names product liability as one of the coverages its Casualty practice places, opening the practice page by saying it helps clients with "mitigating product liability and improving customer safety." Newfront brokers this coverage; it does not underwrite it. ¹¹Company-reported. Casualty page opening description and Key Coverages list.

Both pages as read on 2026-09-23; no policy form, declarations or entity-specific disclosure for this line was reviewed.

Casualty page leadership bio; a practice-wide eligibility statement, not product-liability-only.

Beazley describes products/completed operations coverage as responding to bodily-injury and property-damage claims arising from a life-sciences organization's sold products, illustrated with scenarios such as a heating pad allegedly causing burns and a device allegedly causing skin burns during a procedure. ⁶Company-reported. Illustrative example scenarios on the BioSecure page; scenarios show the type of claim the coverage is meant to address, not a guarantee that a particular claim is covered.

Product-liability coverage for life sciences is written on one of three product forms: BioSecure for clinical-trial and sold-product organizations, NutraGuard for nutraceutical, personal-care and cosmetics companies, and WellTech for technology-focused life-sciences organizations; general liability within the package can be written on a claims-made or occurrence basis. ⁵Company-reported. Life Sciences page "Our Coverages" and general-liability line item; the reviewed pages describe BioSecure in the most detail and do not itemize which coverages NutraGuard and WellTech each include.

The reviewed page lists product liability as a named coverage within casualty placement but does not describe the specific insuring agreement, occurrence versus claims-made trigger, or exclusions for that line; those terms come from the placed policy. ¹¹Not found in reviewed sources. Casualty page as read on 2026-09-23; only a coverage-name listing was found for product liability specifically.

The reviewed Life Sciences and BioSecure pages do not publish limit, retention or deductible amounts for products/completed operations coverage; those figures are not shown until an application and quote. ^5,6Not publicly disclosed. Both pages as read on 2026-09-23.

Beazley says it has dedicated wordings professionals who craft policies for the life-sciences sector and a named healthcare claims team, including a Claims Team Leader and Claims Product Specialist for healthcare, that handles claims on this coverage. ^5,6Company-reported. "The Beazley Difference" bullets and team listings on the Life Sciences and BioSecure pages; claims-handling quality and turnaround are not independently verified.

Newfront says its Casualty team offers claims advocacy and integrated risk-control resources to help clients mitigate exposures and reduce claim frequency and cost, plus data-backed benchmarking, applied across the casualty lines it places, including product liability. ¹¹Company-reported. Casualty page's Our Approach and Newfront Difference sections; not product-liability-exclusive service detail.

Beazley posts a Life Sciences application form and a separate BioSecure application under each page's Tools & Resources, pointing to a broker-submitted underwriting process rather than a direct online quote for this coverage. ^5,6Company-reported. Tools & Resources links on both pages; the application forms themselves were not opened.

You engage Newfront for product-liability placement by requesting a consultation, which asks for your industry, company details and the service you need rather than issuing an instant quote. ¹²Company-reported. General consultation intake, not a product-liability-specific application path.
