International Practice: International Liability Exposures

International Practice: International Liability Exposures

In the last 20 years, regional and smaller design firms based in the U.S. have found a new demand for their  services in the international marketplace. Foreign clients now seek the services of boutique firms and specialty consultants, and what was once the sole domain of large design firms is far more common. This article will discuss the international liability exposures (except for professional liability) faced by architects and engineers who provide services abroad.

Insurance 101: The Things You Always Wanted to Know About Liability  Coverage But Were Afraid to Ask

As a change of pace from our usual fare on risk and practice management, this issue of ProNetwork News is meant to serve as a basic reference guide to the liability insurance coverages typically purchased by design firms. Let’s start with a key definition. CLAIMS-MADE vs. OCCURRENCE Most liability policies are written on an Occurrence policy form. Coverage is triggered on the date of the “occurrence” (defined as an accident, including continuous or repeated exposure to substantially the same general harmful conditions, causing damage). A claim asserted against the insured may be brought well after the occurrence.

Making the Grade: Testing Design Professional Indemnity Obligations

Imagine a case where an engineering firm was found to have had an expensive duty to defend claims asserted against a developer, even after the engineer’s performance was judged not to have violated the professional standard of care. That was the decision three years ago, in the California Court of Appeals in UDC – Universal Development L.P. v. CH2M Hill. In fact, that case extended another one, decided two years earlier in the California State Supreme Court. (Crawford v. Weather Shield Mfg., Inc.). That decision held that the duty to defend was incurred the moment that the indemnitee (the party that the design firm was contractually bound to indemnify) tendered its defense to the design firm.

Project Insurance: Benefits and Cautions – Part 2 of 2

In this second installment of a two-part article, the author briefly reviews last month’s material and introduces the reader to the remaining main types of this insurance product. In order to further differentiate coverage purchased by the owner, he has expanded it into two types. Project specific coverage is the insurance industry’s response to demands from both the design community and from owners for higher, dedicated limits for large and complex projects. Such limits would thereby be available during design, construction and after project completion. The product continues to change based on market conditions, as well as on the processes used by architects and engineers.
