Claims scenarios 

Not sure what risks our Architects and Engineers product would cover? We’ve brought some scenarios to life.

General Contractors

A general contractor working on a refrigerated warehouse project subcontracts the design of the refrigeration and ventilation system to a small mechanical engineer. The engineer, who did not carry professional liability, miscalculated the cooling needs of the warehouse and specified an inadequate ventilation system. The building owner demanded $250,000 to replace the poorly performing system.

Developers

A condominium owner brings a claim against the developer and the architect for a design error. The architect cannot be located and the architect's insurance has lapsed. The suit continues against the developer.

Construction Professionals

A wrongful death suit is brought arising out of claims that a Civil Engineer for a highway construction project negligently relocated traffic lanes. The design error resulted in a driver striking an arrow board which flew into oncoming traffic injuring two and killing one passenger in an auto. The settlement exceeded $1,000,000 for defense costs and indemnity.
