Overview

Overview

Design and surveying firms face liability from many angles. Projects that run over budget or aren’t delivered on schedule, unforeseen site conditions, accidents, unhappy customers and more can lead to claims against the designers and surveyors. That’s why AXIS Design Professional Liability Insurance is a great program for designers and surveyors.We offer a generous insuring agreement with a full range of deductible options. We include pre-claims assistance, so design firms can report and tamp down a potential problem before it becomes a claim.

Experienced attorneys and responsive claims representatives work with our insureds to resolve claims quickly and minimize the damage. Risk management services are also available to reduce the likelihood of claims. customers and brokers can count on AXIS Design Professional Liability Insurance for fast quotes, responsive claims service, multiple coverage options and solid financial strength. For firms who focus on commercial, institutional, municipal and infrastructure projects, AXIS has the capacity, underwriting expertise and service to make a difference.
