      Knowing how similar firms stack up in terms of professional liability claims provides a valuable asset when planning the future of a professional practice. Using the AIA Commended Program of professional liability insurance, we’ll examine claims statistics for firms of all sizes and locations and from specific project types; and use actual case studies to determine what went wrong.

Learning objectives:

• Identify who brings claims according to project type
• Recognize what claims cost by type of claim and type of project
• Adjust practice management and compensation according to firm exposure.
