Professional liability insurance provides coverage for professionals and businesses to protect them against claims of negligence by clients or customers. Policies generally cover negligence, copyright infringement, personal injury claims and more.
To determine how much professional liability coverage you require based on your industry, company size and risk profile it's wise to consult an independent insurance agent who can assist in selecting an adequate amount; limits typically range between $250,000-2 million for professional liability policies.
That means the general contractor must establish his or her own risk mitigation process that works closely with the construction project manager, conducting risk identification and analysis throughout the duration of the project, while creating a comprehensive risk management plan.
Task and Schedule Tracking Doing this not only aids construction risk management but also allows teams to make better decisions regarding how best to complete certain parts of a project, especially when they fall behind schedule. What's more is these tools help increase accountability.
"All risk" refers to an umbrella form of coverage which automatically protects any risk that the contract does not specifically exclude; for instance, homeowner policies with all-risk policies typically provide flood damage coverage as part of their all risk package.
Although all-risk policies offer comprehensive protection, they don't always include everything. Most policies don't pay out for damages caused by termites, wear and tear, sewer backups, floods or earthquakes as well as paying to remove mold or repair your foundation.
A policy simply sets forth terms and conditions without attaching them to specific persons, items, or interests; by contrast, contracts establish contractual obligations between two or more parties governed by contract law.
