Manufacturer's Professional Liability E&O Insurance from Capitol Special Risks
Manufacturers face liability exposures that go beyond bodily injury and property damage. General liability policies typically exclude third-party financial losses that arise when a product or service fails to perform. Capitol Special Risks offers a Manufacturer's Professional Liability (E&O) Insurance program designed to close that important gap and protect manufacturers from claims for pure financial loss.
As a wholesale broker with access to multiple specialty carriers, Capitol Special Risks provides flexible programs for agents placing hard-to-bind manufacturing risks. Whether your client manufactures industrial equipment, electronic components, medical devices (non-invasive), or consumer products, this program is structured to address professional liability exposures standard policies often omit.
Ideal Accounts and Appetite
This program fits manufacturers whose products, components, or embedded services could cause significant financial loss to customers if they do not perform as intended. Target classes include:
- OEMs and component part manufacturers
- Manufacturers of specialized industrial machinery
- Technology-driven product manufacturers (hardware + software)
- Non-invasive medical device and equipment manufacturers
- Consumer electronics manufacturers
Example scenarios you may place: a control-system manufacturer whose software error leads to an operational shutdown at a commercial site, or a component supplier whose defective part causes production delays and financial loss for a downstream customer. These are the types of third-party financial-loss exposures this coverage addresses.
Coverage Highlights and Advantages
Capitol Special Risks’ Manufacturer’s Professional Liability E&O policy includes a broad set of features to help protect a manufacturer’s business continuity and reputation:
- Manufacturer’s Professional Liability for pure financial loss
- Pollution Conditions Coverage for covered professional acts
- Multimedia and Advertising Coverage
- Computer Network Security and Privacy Liability Coverage
- Supplementary Payments and Defendants Reimbursement
- Disciplinary Proceedings Reimbursement
- Reputation Management Reimbursement
These enhancements allow you to craft a program that addresses modern risk drivers — software failures, data/privacy events, and reputational harm — alongside traditional professional exposures.
Underwriting Notes and Minimum Premiums
Minimum premiums vary by class and exposure. Underwriters will want clear submission materials: full product descriptions, scope of operations, revenue breakdowns, distribution channels, and prior claims history. Capitol Special Risks emphasizes fast turnaround and competitive placement; they do not assess broker fees, simplifying your presentation to the insured.
Territories and Availability
This program is available nationwide across all 50 states and the District of Columbia and is placed on a non-admitted basis through multiple carrier partners. That non-admitted placement gives underwriters additional flexibility on terms and limits for specialty manufacturing risks.
