Hypothetical claim scenarios

These are hypothetical examples only. Actual coverage depends on the policy form, exclusions, and carrier determination.

A customer alleges a candle burned unevenly and scorched a tabletop. Product liability coverage is generally intended to respond to allegations that a finished product caused harm in the event of a covered claim.
A shopper trips over a box behind your market booth and is injured. General liability coverage is generally intended to address third-party bodily injury allegations of this type.

Frequently asked questions

Why do candle makers consider product liability coverage?

Because a finished candle is used with an open flame, allegations of burns or fire-related property damage are a recognized exposure. Product liability is generally intended to respond to allegations that a finished product caused harm, while general liability is intended to address incidents at markets and shows. Coverages and eligibility vary by carrier and state.

Does selling online change my coverage needs?

It can. Online and marketplace sales are generally addressed when you disclose those channels on the application, and disclosure matters because undisclosed sales channels may not be covered. A licensed insurance professional can review how you sell.
