Purchasing Your Insurance: A Guide for Construction Managers

Step One: Why do I need insurance? Step Two: Why CNA/Schinnerer? Step Three: Eligibility Step Four: Apply for Coverage Step Five: What next?

Why do I need insurance?

In many cases, construction managers like architects and engineers are contractually required to purchase professional liability coverage. But when coverage is not mandated by a contract, why should a construction manager carry it?

Construction managers encompass a broad range of services and roles within the project delivery process. Therefore, the ways in which a construction manager defines and carries out services can have far-reaching consequences with respect to potential liability and professional liability coverage.

Professional liability coverage allows you to transfer this risk to an insurance company. You pay a premium so that, if a lawsuit is brought against you, the insurance company will not only pay out damage awards on a covered claim, but also pay your defense costs.

If you'd like to discuss your specific risks, you might want to talk to an independent agent or broker in your area.
