Does anyone here have product liability insurance? I called around today trying to get a quote and only one place would even consider it. Most were fine with insuring the shop until I said that we do design work and make our own products.
I have insurance now, but not product liability. It's getting to be a big part of our business, so I want to cover my ass.
I'm not making airplanes, pieces of airplanes, guns, race cars, or anything that seems inherently dangerous. We design and build fixtures and tools for other shops and manufacturers. They are all used by professionals.
I'm a degreed mechanical engineer with 10 years experience. I do all of the design work.
Any thoughts? It basically sounded like no one would cover us for product liability unless we already had product liability coverage. How are you supposed to get the coverage started?
