When does a company need Continuum from Chubb? Consider the following scenarios: A home appliance manufacturer sells only one of its products and it is not generating sufficient profit. Some years later, a consumer pulls the former manufacturer into a million-dollar lawsuit seeking damages for a severe injury arising out of what became a discontinued product line. The manufacturer is found liable. Continuum’s Discontinued Products Liability insurance will respond. A manufacturer purchases an electronic equipment leasing firm through an "assets only" agreement. Several years later, suit is brought after discovering that the former leasing firm’s equipment had caused major property damage prior to the buyout. The successor is found liable to pay the multi-million dollar claim, as the predecessor firm had inadequate insurance and could not finance the loss. Continuum Successor Liability insurance responds. A company changes from a “claims-made” insurance policy to an “occurrence-based” policy. As a result, claims made after the policy change that arise out of pre-change events are no longer protected. Without Continuum Liability Trigger Conversion insurance, this company would be left with a gap in its liability protection.
