What Is Design Professional Liability Insurance?

Design professional liability insurance protects against claims related to negligence, errors or omissions in the performance of professional services. As a design professional, you know that every successful job begins with a clear understanding of your customer's needs paired with your plan to meet them. Travelers understands that regardless of how well you plan for a project, the potential for mistakes in the performance of professional services of architects, engineers and designers is still very real. The financial security of your firm can depend on how well protected it is from a lawsuit or claim.
