Counterpart Expands Insurance Offerings
Counterpart, a leader in the management and professional liability insurtech landscape, has recently enhanced its product offerings by introducing General Liability (GL) insurance to its Miscellaneous Professional Liability (MPL) product line. This new coverage is designed to widen the security net for small businesses and is accessible through Counterpart's trusted network of wholesale brokers.
General Liability Insurance Details
The General Liability insurance by Counterpart boasts ISO-based language and offers substantial limits reaching up to $1 million per occurrence and $2 million aggregate, which includes provisions for both Products and Completed Operations. Additionally, separate limits for Professional Liability (PL) and General Liability (GL) ensure that various aspects of business operations are adequately covered. This new coverage is especially crucial for small business owners, helping them safeguard against claims arising from bodily injuries and property damages related to their services and products.
Broker and Client Benefits
According to Mike Muglia, the Professional Liability Insurance Lead at Counterpart, the demand for General Liability coverage has grown significantly among brokers and their clients. He stated, "General Liability is a critical coverage for small business owners and has been the most demanded addition to our PL product line from our brokers. The ability to package GL with MPL simplifies the process for brokers and provides insureds with the advantage of having one carrier handle claims for both lines." This streamlined process is set to enhance the efficiency of managing claims and coverage.
Strengthening Partnerships
This introduction of GL coverage comes as a strategic move that reinforces Counterpart's collaboration with Aspen, the A-rated insurance carrier supporting this new offering.
