Does professional E&O cover an injury caused by a product?

Do not assume. Compare the proposed E&O definition of your design services with the CGL/products terms for injury or property damage caused by your product. Check each form’s exclusions and covered activities.

Ask separately how the proposed forms treat bodily injury, rework, product repair, and recall costs.1,2
