Coverages for Architects & Engineers Insurance
Professional Liability – Included
As you’re a professional engineer or architect, when people rely on your advice, any errors in your services – or even the failure to provide specific advice, recommendations, can land you in court. That’s where professional liability comes in. This coverage protects you by covering the costs of legal expenses so that you can defend yourself and go back to running and growing your business.
Here are some examples of common professional liability claims:
- Design Errors/Repairs that resulted in financial losses for the client
- Going over the budget or delays in a project timeline.
- Leaving out vital information from a project
Commercial General Liability – Optional
Commercial general liability insurance covers common risks such as client injuries, property damage, slander, and other advertising injuries. It protects your business during lawsuits and pays for legal and medical expenses.
Imagine you accidentally spill coffee on a client’s white couch, or accidentally damage a client’s computer. This coverage helps cover the cost of replacing damaged property.
Contents Coverage – Optional
No matter what type of engineer or architect you are, you know you certainly rely on certain tools, devices, or equipment to get the job done. Whether you rent an office, work from home, or own your building, contents coverage protects these valuable assets inside your place of business. For example, imagine a fire, theft, or flood causes damages or loss to your equipment, computers, office furniture, devices, etc,. This coverage helps repair or replace them allowing you to get back to work quicker and cutting your losses.
Property Away From The Office – Optional
When commuting from location to location while working, do you carry certain work devices or tools? Camera, work cell phone or laptop, etc.? If so, portable equipment insurance is highly recommended as these portable contents are exposed to a higher risk of damage. Consider you are driving to a client’s worksite and you get rear-ended causing your camera lens to break. In this case, portable equipment coverage provides funds for you to repair, or replace your damaged item.
