Insurance for architects and engineers

Do architects and engineers need business insurance?

Architects or engineers who design buildings for commercial and/or residential use should have professional and general liability insurance to protect themselves from claims and lawsuits brought by clients, vendors or even employees. Liability insurance is a great way to protect yourself while continuing to provide top-notch services to clients, which is especially true for architects and engineers who work privately or own their own business.
