Loss Prevention Tips:
[/fusion_text][accordian divider_line=”” class=”” id=””][toggle title=”Eliminate Liability Illiteracy” open=”no”]Make sure all employees learn how everyday business practices affect your exposure to risk. All must understand that claims not only arise from technical mistakes but from non-technical issues such as client selection, contracts, project team selection and and communication issues. Make sure your employee training and risk management programs support your commitment to quality and address these critical practice management issues.[/toggle][toggle title=”Select Projects and Clients Carefully” open=”no”]Certain projects (such as condominiums) and certain clients (such as developers) are higher risks than others. Check into the client’s track record and finances before accepting any assignment. Don’t accept projects that do not provide adequate fees for your services, that restrict your scope of services to an unacceptable level or that are outside of your firm’s area of expertise.[/toggle][toggle title=”Always Have a Written Contract” open=”no”]A fair, well-defined professional services agreement that precisely states the intent of both parties helps prevent misunderstandings and has terms easily understood by a mediator, judge or jury. This alone may discourage a plaintiff from asserting and otherwise marginal claim.[/toggle][toggle title=”Offer Comprehensive Design Services” open=”no”]A full scope of services that includes construction observation provides the design professional with the best opportunity to ensure a quality, claim-free project. You should also list in your contract those services you have explained and offered to the client, but that the client has declined.[/toggle][toggle title=”Identify Deal-breakers” open=”no”]Some risks are so significant that you cannot possibly accept them. Let clients know that they must retain the liability for such risks (through indemnities) if you are to provide services.[/toggle][toggle title=”Select the Right Insurance Program” open=”no”]By selecting the right insurance program, your firm gains a partner that focuses on the many risk management issues in your practice. Carefully consider the sleep-at-night benefits you expect from your professional liability insurance carrier – strong financial ratings, broad coverage, relevant loss prevention education programs, and the proven technical expertise to resolve an incident or claim to your advantage quickly and efficiently.[/toggle][/accordian][fusion_text]Loss prevention tips by XL Catlin[/fusion_text][/one_third][one_third last=”no” spacing=”yes” center_content=”no” hide_on_mobile=”no” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” background_position=”left top” hover_type=”none” link=”” border_position=”all” border_size=”0px” border_color=”” border_style=”” padding=”” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”” animation_speed=”0.1″ animation_offset=”” class=”” id=””][button link=”” color=”custom” size=”medium” stretch=”” type=”” shape=”” target=”_self” title=”” gradient_colors=”#344ea2|#344ea2″ gradient_hover_colors=”#0f337a|#0f337a” accent_color=”#ffffff” accent_hover_color=”#d7e3ea” bevel_color=”” border_width=”” icon=”fa-question” icon_position=”left” icon_divider=”no” modal=”askquestion” animation_type=”fade” animation_direction=”down” animation_speed=”0.5″ animation_offset=”” alignment=”center” class=”” id=””]Ask a Question[/button][modal name=”askquestion” title=”Ask Us a Question” size=”large” background=”” border_color=”” show_footer=”yes” class=”” id=””] [/modal][/one_third][one_third last=”yes” spacing=”yes” center_content=”no” hide_on_mobile=”no” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” background_position=”left top” hover_type=”none” link=”” border_position=”all” border_size=”0px” border_color=”” border_style=”” padding=”” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”” animation_speed=”0.1″ animation_offset=”” class=”” id=””][button link=”” color=”custom” size=”medium” stretch=”” type=”” shape=”” target=”_self” title=”” gradient_colors=”#344ea2|#344ea2″ gradient_hover_colors=”#0f337a|#0f337a” accent_color=”#ffffff” accent_hover_color=”#d7e3ea” bevel_color=”” border_width=”” icon=”fa-file-text-o” icon_position=”left” icon_divider=”no” modal=”getquote” animation_type=”fade” animation_direction=”down” animation_speed=”0.5″ animation_offset=”” alignment=”center” class=”” id=””]Request a Quote[/button][modal name=”getquote” title=”Request a Quote” size=”large” background=”” border_color=”” show_footer=”yes” class=”” id=””]
