Specialist insurance advice for Australian medical device, pharmaceutical and medical product businesses.
Experience applied to Life Science risks
Mercantile Insurance Brokers is an Australian owned insurance brokerage. Our team brings 25 years of insurance and risk experience to businesses whose products, contracts or activities require careful assessment. That experience relates to insurance broking and risk advice; it is not the age of the Mercantile business.
Our Life Science focus includes medical device manufacturers and importers, medical product suppliers, pharmaceutical companies, distributors, medical robotic device businesses and pharmaceutical logistics providers. We also assist medical research and contract research organisations where specialist insurance is required.
What we review with you
- Your role as manufacturer, importer, distributor, brand owner or service provider.
- Products liability, product errors and omissions, professional indemnity and recall exposures.
- Policy limits, insured activities, overseas territories and US or Canadian sales.
- Changes from development and testing to commercial supply, and changes in products or markets.
We compare proposed cover with the activities you actually undertake and explain significant limitations. Cover depends on insurer acceptance and the policy wording, exclusions, limits and deductibles. Our role includes helping you prepare insurer information and supporting you when notifying a claim or a change in your business.
