LONDON, Dec. 8, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Chubb today announced the launch of its enhanced MasterPackage for Life Science Companies product in the UK. This is a comprehensive first and third-party policy designed for companies which develop or provide life science products, solutions or services.

The product is complimented by a wider service proposition backed by Chubb's multinational expertise which also includes specialist Life Science underwriters, claims handlers, risk engineers and a suite of cyber support services.

Chubb's MasterPackage for Life Science Companies solution is regularly enhanced to keep pace with the needs and changing risks faced by Life Science clients.

This latest update includes cyber protection specifically tailored for the industry with, for example, Products and Services liability extended to include bodily injury from a cyber attack. Errors and Omissions (E&O) also includes Delay in delivery and Counterfeit Goods, in line with the Falsified Medicines Directive.

Clinical trials product cover now begins if a patient starts a trial before the retro date. Coverage also includes Extended (compassionate use) of clinical trial products, plus Contingent Medical Malpractice cover and Phlebotomy and Incidental Healthcare.

Chubb's MasterPackage for Life Science Companies solution is targeted at SME and Middle Market businesses. Each client can benefit from working with a single insurer and underwriter offering them a straightforward product with clear policy language.
