Key Differences in General Liability Insurance

Robotics risks and limits

Risklytics describes GL for third-party injury or property damage, such as a visitor tripping at a robot demo, and distinguishes a customer's financial loss from product failure as Tech E&O. It says a typical request is $1 million per incident and $2 million per year, not a guaranteed limit. Nationwide describes covered medical and legal costs and says products/completed operations can be endorsed, without a published universal limit. Identify whether your exposure is physical injury, product failure, or both. 8 4

Specialist placement

Risklytics says it places the line with outside insurers that want robotics and hardware risks, but does not name the carrier before binding; its licensed producer stays on the file through binding. Nationwide directs prospects to an agent. Ask who issues each proposal and whether the GL form excludes product-performance loss. 5 8 4

What to Confirm in General Liability Insurance Quotes

  • Ask Risklytics to identify the carrier, actual limits, and Tech E&O boundary; ask Nationwide for limits and any product/completed-operations endorsement.
