Insurance for Specialized Professions & Industries

Some professions and industries have exposure to risk that no other commercial businesses have. Many in these industries fear that every mistake, perceived mistake, or client dissatisfaction might lead to a disastrous lawsuit. For this reason, specialized insurance coverage is there to reduce risk and financial exposure.

Architects & Engineers Insurance

According to one large insurer, each year between 1994 and 2005 there were between 15 and 21 professional liability claims filed for every 100 architectural firms. Professional Liability policies contain many exclusions and limitations which need to be carefully considered. In many cases, those exclusions and limitations need to be removed or amended based on the scope of your operations. We will negotiate with the underwriters to get the best terms for your company.

In addition, our program includes all other lines of coverage for A&E firms, i.e., Property, General Liability, Auto, Crime, Workers' Compensation, Management Liability, Foreign Liability, Cyber Liability, and Credit Insurance.

Our services also include a wide range of Risk Management services including contract review of the insurance requirements.

Environmental Insurance

Have you weighed your risk against claims that are caused by pollution? Most businesses have not but nearly all insurance companies have.

Included in most standard insurance policies is a clear section that eliminates or severely limits coverage against pollution claims.

Do not wait until a claim is filed or a loss is incurred before discovering the true environmental risks specific to your business. Let our environmental specialist evaluate your pollution exposures and ensure you have the correct coverages and protection in place. There are only a handful of insurance companies that actively protect the property and liability risk of loss by environmental exposures, and we work with all of them. We know what you need.

Transportation Industry Insurance

From protection against loss of goods in transit, to system breakdowns, to trucker's general liability, and fleet damage, transportation insurance coverage must be comprehensive and still be affordable. To make sure you aren't exposed to dangerous gaps in coverage and not paying for coverage you don't need, talk to a Fulwiler transportation specialist today. We'll explain the details so you know what you're getting, what's covered, and what it costs.
