Key Differences in Product Liability Insurance

Ten-Minute Quote Versus a Consultation

Embroker says applicants can get a product liability quote in under 10 minutes through its digital platform and choose their own deductibles and limits. You engage Newfront for product-liability placement by requesting a consultation that asks for industry, company details and the service needed rather than issuing an instant quote. Newfront brokers the line; it does not underwrite it. 4 10 9

Published Exclusions Versus an Unspecified Grant

Embroker lists coverage for bodily injury, property damage, illness and wrongful death from design, manufacturing or warning defects, and says the policy excludes employee injuries, on-premises third-party accidents, product recall costs, and technology product claims. Newfront’s reviewed page lists product liability as a named coverage but does not describe the specific insuring agreement, trigger or exclusions. 4 9

Size Range

Embroker says only larger companies typically buy an independent product-liability policy rather than a GL endorsement or BOP bundle. Newfront says its Casualty practice, led by Frannie Epps, serves companies of all sizes from start-ups to Fortune 10 across a broad span of industries, without a product-liability-specific revenue threshold. 4 9

Services Around Claims

Newfront says its Casualty team offers claims advocacy, integrated risk-control resources and data-backed benchmarking across casualty lines, including product liability. Embroker’s reviewed product page focuses on coverage, exclusions, cost factors and the digital quote rather than describing comparable risk-control services. 9 4

What to Confirm in Product Liability Insurance Quotes

  • Ask Embroker whether the quote is standalone, a GL endorsement or a BOP bundle, and whether recall is excluded. 4
  • Ask Newfront for the placed wording, trigger and issuing insurer, which the reviewed page does not name. 9
  • Compare Newfront’s claims-advocacy process with Embroker’s issuing carrier’s claims path. 9 4
  • Compare the deductibles you select on Embroker with Newfront’s quoted retention; neither public page publishes standard limits. 4 9

Embroker vs Newfront Product Liability Insurance: documented features by provider

CriteriaEmbroker Product Liability InsuranceNewfront Casualty Product Liability
Role in This Line

Embroker sells product liability as a standalone policy, and says most companies instead add it as an endorsement to a general liability policy or bundle it into a Business Owners Policy, with only larger companies typically buying an independent policy. 4Company-reported. Product-page description and 'Tips for Saving' section; not a statement about the issuing insurer.

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. 9Company-reported. Casualty page opening description and Key Coverages list.

Issuing Insurer

Not described in the reviewed sources.

The reviewed page does not name an insurer for product-liability placements; Newfront describes "strong carrier relationships" generally rather than a specific product-liability panel. 9Not found in reviewed sources. Checked the Casualty page for a named product-liability carrier; none was found.

Who It’s For

Embroker markets the policy to businesses that manufacture, repair, distribute or sell products, saying manufacturers are most often held liable but sellers and repairers can also be named in claims. 4Company-reported. Product-page 'Who Is It For?' section; not a guarantee of coverage for a particular business.

Newfront says its Casualty practice, led by Frannie Epps, serves companies "of all sizes, ranging from start-ups to Fortune 10" across a broad span of industries, without a product-liability-specific size or revenue threshold. 9Company-reported.

Coverage Features

Embroker lists coverage for bodily injury, property damage, illness and wrongful death claims arising from design defects, manufacturing defects, or warning/labeling defects in a product. 4Company-reported. Product-page 'What Does Product Liability Insurance Cover?' section; the issued policy and declarations control.

Embroker says the policy excludes employee injuries (covered by workers' compensation), third-party accidents on the policyholder's property (covered by general liability), product recall costs (which need a separate endorsement or product recall policy), and technology product claims (covered by tech E&O). 4Company-reported. Product-page What's Not Covered section, distinguishing product liability from general liability, product recall insurance and technology E&O.

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. 9Not found in reviewed sources. Casualty page as read on 2026-09-23; only a coverage-name listing was found for product liability specifically.

Limits and Retentions

Embroker says pricing depends heavily on product risk category (for example, pharmaceuticals or firearms cost more than lower-risk goods), company size and revenue, and claims history; it does not publish standard policy limits. 4Company-reported. Product-page 'How Much Does Product Liability Insurance Cost?' section.

Published limits or retentions for product-liability coverage were not found on the reviewed page. 9Not publicly disclosed. Casualty page as read on 2026-09-23; limits are quote-specific for broker placements.
