Civil Engineering Errors and Omissions Insurance

We provide errors and omissions insurance (E&O), also called professional liability insurance, to civil engineers who work in all industries.

Civil engineering is one of the oldest types of engineering. Civil engineers work on the design, construction, and maintenance of various projects, including buildings, roads, tunnels, bridges, dams, ports, railways, airports and water and energy systems.

Civil engineering has several sub-specialties, including:

Geotechnical
Structural
Construction
Environmental
Transportation
Materials
Municipal/Urban
Water resources
Coastal
Surveying

Civil engineers are employed by organizations such as engineering firms, various levels of government, construction companies, colleges & universities, utilities, the mining industry, and manufacturers.

Do civil engineers need errors and omissions insurance?

Civil engineers face exposure to E&O and malpractice lawsuits based on alleged breach of contract and failure to exercise due care. If found responsible or as having been negligent, civil engineers can be held responsible for significant damages. Lawsuits against civil engineers can be based on issues such as error in design, construction defect, calculation error, and failure to follow standards or regulations.

Even if a lawsuit is not justified, civil engineers still face costly legal fees. It is therefore vital for civil engineers to have the proper E&O insurance protection.
