1 Workshop W9 Wednesday, November 12 1:30 2:45 p.m. and 3:05 4:20 p.m. INSURING OWNERS DESIGN ERRORS AND OMISSIONS EXPOSURES Presented by Workshop W9 Jeff Slivka Chief Operating Officer/Executive Vice President Construction Practice Leader New Day Underwriting Managers LLC With the escalating costs of insuring the design team on a construction project, project owners who hold contracts with design professionals or design-builders are showing an increasing interest in owners protective professional indemnity (OPPI) insurance to protect themselves against potentially catastrophic design errors. OPPI provides contingent liability coverage and first-party indemnity to project owners for damages they incur as a result of negligent acts, errors, and/or omissions of their design professionals, as well as defense for third-party claims. This session will examine the various alternatives an owner has available to protect itself against both first-party losses and contingent liability for third-party professional liability claims associated with design errors, with a heavy focus on the OPPI option. Industry trends and expectations for the coming year will also be discussed. To print on both sides of the page, set your printer for duplex printing.
