Products Liability Insurance for the Aviation Industry

Products Liability for the Aviation IndustryAs you probably already know, liability can arise from the manufacture, sale, and distribution of products in the aviation industry. Since aircraft are not consumer products, the normal standard of a product being “unreasonably dangerous” does not apply.

Aviation products liability can arise from:

  • A design defect
  • A manufacturing defect
  • A “failure to warn” defect

To establish product liability, the plaintiff must show that the product:

  • Was defective when it left the defendant's control
  • Was used as intended or in a reasonably foreseeable way
  • Caused the injury

The aviation insurance practice group at Spiris will create a products liability insurance quote package for designed specific products exposure that provides the best protection at reasonable premiums. In addition, we can provide risk management audits and consulting services designed to help mitigate risk.
