Account brief

## What to know

**Liability starts with the alleged event**

Describe who did what, where it happened, whether a product had left the insured's control, what injury or damage is alleged, and which contracts or additional-insured relationships are involved.

**Property and interruption require two schedules**

The property schedule should identify buildings, improvements, equipment, plants, stock, work in process, finished goods, ownership, location, and valuation.

**Product risk extends beyond the item sold**

Formulation, ingredients, manufacturing, testing, labeling, marketing, distribution, complaints, contracts, traceability, and recall decisions all belong in the product discussion.

## Liability starts with the alleged event

General liability and product liability labels do not replace the fact pattern or policy wording.

## Property and interruption require two schedules

The interruption schedule should identify critical utilities, equipment, suppliers, laboratories, licenses, repair or replacement time, and the operational path to recovery.

## Product risk extends beyond the item sold

Product liability, recall expense, contamination, property, cyber, and professional forms can address different exposures.

## Build one handoff for the coverage conversation

That handoff gives the broker enough context to separate liability, property, interruption, and product questions while keeping the account facts consistent across the review.

- List the entities, locations, activities, products, and contracts involved

- Attach property, equipment, inventory, revenue, payroll, and vehicle schedules

- Describe the event or loss scenario the insured wants to address

- Identify critical suppliers, laboratories, utilities, platforms, and customers

- Provide current applications, policies, endorsements, loss runs, and open claims

- Write down the requested decision and the policy terms that need comparison

Important insurance and legal information
CARMA's website provides general information only. It is not insurance, legal, tax, regulatory, underwriting, safety, risk-management, or claims advice. Nothing on this site is a quote, binder, policy, coverage determination, legal opinion, or promise of eligibility, availability, pricing, terms, limits, or placement.

Only an issued policy and its endorsements can provide coverage, and their actual terms, conditions, limitations, and exclusions control. Sending information, following a link, or speaking with CARMA does not bind coverage, change a policy, or create authority to act for an insurer unless an authorized party confirms that authority in writing.

Do not rely on this website to report a claim, request a policy change, satisfy a notice requirement, or meet a deadline. Use the instructions in the applicable policy or written communication. Laws, licensing, appetite, carrier participation, and external sources can change, so confirm time-sensitive matters with CARMA, the controlling source, and qualified advisers.
