CLINICAL TRIALS
Liability coverage is a necessity for manufacturers of medical devices or pharmaceuticals for injuries resulting from product tests on humans in clinical trials. Coverage can be purchased on a per-trial basis, or be included with a Products Liability policy. Coverage is available worldwide, and IPM can assist companies conducting trials in Europe where there are legal requirements to obtain policies through a local admitted carrier. Our insurers also offer policies that conform with “no fault compensation laws” as needed.
