Architects Require Insurance to Run Their Business
Architects require insurance since they are at risk for many different types of liability, the most obvious of which comes from any oversights they might have made in the drafting of blueprints. It is important that, as an architect, you are fully insured against any suits that might come your way. If you are an independent contractor, you will need to make sure that you are covered with errors and omissions insurance. If you are the owner of an architectural firm, you will need the same coverage as an independent contractor, but you should supplement that coverage with general liability insurance or employee dishonesty coverage in case anyone gets hurt while visiting your offices or if one of your employees has a dishonesty suit brought against them.
