Our claims studies analyze claims that have been brought against design professionals in the Schinnerer and CNA professional liability insurance program. Each study also includes risk management advice that is specific to the project type, discipline, or problem area that is being addressed in the study. The goal of the claims studies is to educate firms about the risks they may encounter on certain projects. Hopefully design firms can use these true stories and risk management advice to avoid the same pitfalls others have stumbled upon.

 

This year, we have added claims studies on oral contracts, subconsultants, contractual provisions, and submittals. In addition to these new studies, current brokers and policyholders can access our entire archive of claims studies, many of which were updated this year with current benchmarking data.
