Also Available: Contract Research Organization (CRO) professional liability

On occasion, companies may hire a CRO to conduct clinical trials on their behalf. CROs face not only a vicarious product liability exposure, but also malpractice (failure to follow the manufacturer’s directions, or protocol, causing injury) and/or errors and omissions exposures (improper filing of the results, resulting in rejection or delay in drug approval, causing financial loss). We understand the unique risks that these CROs face and have developed a specialized CRO professional liability policy that gives them the financial loss protection they need in addition to medical malpractice coverage.
