Coverage Highlights and Advantages
PPIB’s products liability program includes features designed for complex and higher-exposure risks:
- True worldwide coverage — Claims brought anywhere in the world are eligible for coverage, supporting global distribution models.
- Retroactive coverage — Available for risks transferring from other carriers to help preserve continuity of protection.
- Non-admitted capacity — Useful for accounts outside the appetite of admitted carriers due to product type, claims history, or other factors.
Underwriting Notes
Submissions are underwritten on a case-by-case basis. PPIB evaluates product type, distribution channels, sales volume, manufacturing controls, and quality/safety protocols. Provide complete applications and supporting documents — product descriptions, labels, safety data, manufacturing processes, and loss history — to expedite review. Minimum premiums vary by risk; PPIB focuses on placing niche and specialty risks that may not fit standard markets.
Territories and Availability
Coverage is available nationwide. PPIB can write business in all 50 states plus Washington, D.C., and routinely places business in states such as CA, NY, TX, FL, IL, and WA. Policies are offered on a non-admitted basis.
