Business insurance offers you protection from a wide range of unexpected events and accidents, from an error in your plans to a collision involving your work vehicle.
As an engineer or architect, you’re almost always required to have insurance to work on client projects. With the right coverage, you can do your work and focus on the job knowing that you have the protection you need from project risks.
Get Instant QuoteEngineer and architect liability insurance can help cover costs if you find yourself in the unfortunate situation of being accused of causing an injury or damaging property, or if someone says that your work mistake caused financial losses.
We combine two types of liability insurance in our business insurance packages:
Professional liability insurance (also known as errors and omissions), covers you for cases where you are accused of not having done your job properly, whether that’s true or not. If you make a mistake in your plans that causes a financial loss, you could be faced with a lawsuit. Your coverage can help pay for costs to defend your business or fix the problem.

We typically recommend:
Workplace injuries happen more frequently than you might think, especially in your line of work. Workers’ comp makes those situations easier by helping to pay for medical bills for injuries and illnesses that happen to you or your employees while on the job. Workers’ comp can also help to cover lost wages while recuperating from being struck by a falling beam at a construction site.
This coverage is required for businesses with employees in every state except Texas.

You’ll need commercial auto insurance in most states if you own work vehicles that are titled to your business.
You can use a commercial auto policy to insure your personal vehicle if you use that vehicle for your business, but you can’t apply your personal car insurance to your company car. So if you drive your own car to meet with clients or visit work sites, it probably won’t be covered under your personal car insurance.

Architects and engineers who own or rent physical spaces will need property insurance to help protect business equipment, inventory and furniture. If your business property is damaged due to a covered event, such as a burst water pipe or fire, property insurance can help with replacement costs or repairs.
