Professional Liability Insurance Survey of Member Firms
An important consideration for every engineering firm is professional liability insurance. Insurance availability, rates, types of coverage, pre-claim assistance, claim processing, and related issues all have a direct bearing on the strength and financial stability of the firm. To help ACEC members understand the current insurance landscape, the ACEC Risk Management Committee conducts an annual survey of member firms on their professional liability insurance coverage and experience.

Professional Liability Insurance Surveys of Carriers
Each year ACEC, NSPE, and the AIA jointly administer a survey of professional liability insurance (PLI) companies serving the design professional industry. The results may be of interest to your firm if you are looking to add coverage, adjust existing coverage, or compare your PLI provider with other carriers.
