Life science insurance

Protection for tomorrow’s life-saving medical devices and medicines

Managing a pharmaceutical or biotechnology company means facing critical exposures daily. From dealing with clinical trial disruptions to maintaining business continuity and enforcing regulatory compliance, the field of life sciences involves much more than test tubes and lab experiments. Successfully carrying out clinical trials or managing your supply chain requires risk management engineering that shows you the full picture.

Because unexpected hazards can thwart growth and success, it’s vital to pinpoint them at the outset of your risk management strategy. To avoid getting blindsided, BFL CANADA can help you detect them before they become an unresolvable issue that stands in your way.

All too often, life sciences companies suffer operational downtime and/or significant losses in inventory due to the ineffective management of sensitive goods. The BFL CANADA team can provide risk mitigation strategies that protect your business. In the event of a power outage or other supply chain disruption that threatens your temperature-sensitive products or raw materials while stored in a warehouse or in transit, we have the strategies to help mitigate the impact to your business and downtime.

Understanding these risks and implementing the necessary procedures or risk mitigation techniques can help you avoid a loss or recover more quickly from possible losses. We are here to help you effectively manage potential risks, whether they concern stock, freight transport, single source suppliers, fire protection, property in transit or other aspects of your operations.

COMMERCIAL OPERATIONS
COMMERCIAL OPERATIONS

Helps you identify your exposures and arrange necessary insurance coverage to protect your business and allow you to recover from a claim as quickly as possible. For example, a medical device company would want to consider insuring against any potential injuries arising from the use of their medical devices; and may also consider insuring against loss of income resulting from a fire or other interruption at their manufacturing premises, or at a third party manufacturers’ facility. This form of business interruption coverage is designed to pay for a loss of income, in a specified time period or until the insured returns to their previous profitability level, and could be the difference between rebuilding from a fire, or going out of business.
