Key Differences in Product Liability Insurance

Digital Bind Versus Shopped Application

Coverdash and Harper both place product liability as brokers rather than insurers. Coverdash describes a fully digital quote-to-purchase process, with the option to add other coverages alongside it. Harper says you request a quote through an online form or by phone, then one application is shopped across the insurers that write the applicant’s product class. 3 4 8

Vendor Agreements

Harper says it will write the policy to match a retailer or marketplace vendor agreement, including additional-insured status and the specific limits those contracts require. Coverdash’s reviewed product page describes manufacturing defects, design defects, failure to warn and legal defense, and does not describe matching vendor-agreement schedules as a service. 8 4

Importers and Resellers

Coverdash markets the line to manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors and retailers, noting reseller liability. Harper says the line is for makers, importers and sellers of physical products, and that importers, distributors and retailers can be named in a product claim even when they did not manufacture the item. 4 8

Limits on the Public Pages

Neither Coverdash nor Harper publishes specific product-liability limit, retention or premium figures on the reviewed pages. Harper names product category, sales volume and sales channel as pricing drivers. 4 8

What to Confirm in Product Liability Insurance Quotes

  • Bring vendor additional-insured and limit requirements to Harper and ask how they were matched. 8
  • Ask Coverdash which carrier issued the digital quote and whether Product Recall is added from the separate catalog entry. 4 5
  • Ask Harper which insurers were shopped for your product class. 8
  • Compare limit and deductible numbers on both quotes, since neither public page lists them. 4 8
