Understanding the environment. Anticipating change.

With more than 25 years of experience insuring life science and medical technology companies, The Hartford knows what it takes to bring you the comprehensive coverage you need. That’s why we’ve partnered with Medmarc^®, a leading expert in products and clinical trials liability risks. Together, we offer a superior breadth of knowledge and specialized understanding that protects your business and helps keep your company on the forefront of innovation. Here’s just a sample of the coverages and services we offer:

• Blanket Clinical Trial Insurance. Through our alliance with Medmarc, we offer blanket coverage for all clinical trials. This flat rate cuts out bureaucratic delays and unexpected paperwork while automatically covering new trials.
• Industry-Specific Coverages. These comprehensive coverages address common losses as well as unanticipated damage to items such as prototypes, research data and documents. These coverages also protect biological research materials, transit damage, product recall expenses and spoiled or condemned stock.
• Business Income Coverage. Covers challenges posed by lost grants or unique research expenses related to FDA recertification, extending the period of restoration. It also protects your business from income loss resulting from damage to research animals, prototypes or valuable papers and research records. Covers dependent properties and operating expenses for non-income operations.
• Specialized Liability Insurance. Medmarc coverage protects your company from liabilities involving medical devices, whether they are being tested in clinical trials or being sold worldwide. Devices include in vitro diagnostic tools, biotechnologies and pharmaceuticals. This coverage protects test subjects and consumers from bodily injury and adverse reactions to known or foreseeable side effects, regardless of fault.
• Real-time Workers’ Compensation Claims. Our @venture^® risk-management information system is custom-designed for risk managers and available to eligible¹ life science and medical technology companies.
