Professional Liability E&OE

Claims of malpractice against architects and engineers have increased in frequency and in monetary value in recent years, and litigation against professionals is increasingly common.

Professional Liability coverage is now a business necessity, as without its protection, professionals can face crippling defence costs, whether or not they are actually liable for damages. And of course, if the plaintiff did win a judgement, the financial impact of an uninsured award on an individual and the firm would be devastating.

Consider as examples well-know Canadian events such as the building envelope claims in British Columbia or the bridge collapse in Quebec. All parties to such incidents – no matter how tenuous the connection – will be drawn in as defendants when clients or third parties choose to sue.
