Soon Land Surveyors and Those Serving the High Demand Industry Will Be Able to Purchase Land Survey Professional and General Liability Under Customized Insurance Packages
Burbank, CA (PRWEB) July 31, 2013 -- USA Business Insurance is announcing that beginning next month those professionals in the Land Survey industry will be able to purchase policies that combine general liability insurance with professional liability insurance (E&O). This coverage is not limited to just the individuals who do the actual site surveys but for companies and independent contractors who perform surveys for routes, subdivisions, floodplains, hydrographic, mining, construction staking and all other services that fall under this category.
Contrary to what passersby may believe, a land survey company does a great deal more than just measure from point A to point B. They must go to local courthouses and research deeds and property records, make maps, plus write legal descriptions of the land. Because there are humans doing the legwork, there is always a chance of human error. General liability insurance will cover the company or sole proprietor from lawsuits filed by customers and the general public if someone trips over equipment that has been left on the ground or any other injury for which the court awards damages. This is standard for any business. Insurance that is designed for Land Survey companies goes much further.
A project may be completed for years and suddenly a homeowner has a disagreement with a neighbor. As an investigation into the issue commences it is determined that the site surveyor made an error in the original plan. In case of a lawsuit, professional liability land surveyor insurance along with general liability insurance will provide coverage for the damages to both homeowners. Whether or not the surveying company is found at fault, the insurance policy will pay legal fees as well as settlement if the company is charged with negligence.
There are many specific perils which could raise liability against a land surveyor or the company. Tools and surveying equipment has also become a high target for theft and vandalism cases. The industry specific insurance policy will allow the scheduling of all tools and equipment providing coverage whether on the job site or in route to a job. The right land surveyor business insurance coverage will replace these tools immediately with no loss in work time and also provide coverage for buildings, contents, electronic equipment used in the home office and on the road, hard drives and software. If it turns out that the company suffers loss of income, this can be covered as well.
