MedFirst® - Liability Insurance for Life Sciences
MedFirst state-of-the-art coverage for life sciences companies
What coverages are available in life sciences liability insurance?
The evolution of software and electronics in life sciences and pharmaceuticals, as well as the transferring of personally identifiable electronic information, is creating a new combination of risks in the life sciences industry. To address these risks, MedFirst combines three key liability coverages in a single insurance policy.
-
Products/completed operations liability coverage
-
Errors & omissions liability coverage
-
Information security liability coverage
MedFirst combines three important insurance coverages
Products/completed operations liability coverage
For damages because of bodily injury or property damage included in the products/completed operations hazard. This includes bodily injury arising out of your work for a clinical trial.
Errors & omissions liability coverage
For consequential or compensatory damages due to economic loss that arises from your products or your work and is caused by an error, omission or negligent act.
Information security liability coverage
For failure to prevent unauthorized access to, or use of, private or confidential information of others, including protected health information. Our information security liability coverage for medical technology companies responds to failures to prevent unauthorized access to, or use of, private or confidential information or protected health information as defined by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996.
