What Are the Key Differences Between Counterpart and Risklytics General Liability Insurance?

What the Published Scope Emphasizes

Risklytics focuses on robotics, hardware and AI firms that need GL for leases, customer contracts or on-site demonstrations. It describes $1 million per incident and $2 million per year as typical requests, not guaranteed policy limits. Counterpart describes GL paired with professional coverage for selected firms and lawyers. Hardware companies can ask Risklytics about specialist carrier appetite; professional firms should verify Counterpart’s eligible class. [5] [9]

Placement, Limits, and Service Details

Risklytics offers an online application and says a licensed producer stays involved through binding. Counterpart uses wholesale-broker distribution and allows multiple limit and retention options. Get the actual insurer and declarations from Risklytics, then ask Counterpart for both schedules. Contract certificates, hardware injury exposures and professional mistakes may require distinct policy sections, so compare exclusions as well as limit totals. [5] [9]
