INSURING INNOVATION
THAT IMPROVES
OUR WELL-BEING
Everything was falling into place …
Your research was coming along great. That is, until one of the refrigeration units
housing the cell cultures you’d been working on for months failed. It happened
late on a Friday night, so nobody noticed until the following Monday. By then,
all your hard work was gone. Your new product will likely not make it to market
as you had planned. How will your company survive this catastrophe? Will your
insurance policy cover this?
Clinical trials can be trying …
Your company is well into the second phase of clinical trials for a promising
experimental drug when a test subject suffers internal bleeding, requiring
emergency hospitalization and several weeks of intensive care. You soon discover
that your general liability insurance does not cover patients who require medical
treatment as a result of their participation in your clinical trials. How could this
happen? Isn’t that what insurance is for?
CLOSING THE COVERAGE GAP
As you can see from the these
two scenarios, coverage gaps
can occur – and be costly. That’s
why life science companies need
a total insurance solution that
includes broad property and
general liability coverage, plus
extensive products liability
coverage to cover clinical trials,
medical expenses, and more.
Not all insurance companies
include this vital protection in
one package.
