Program Highlights:

Value added services — with RLI, you receive more than just a policy. The following items are available to you as an insured to improve your firm′s risk management profile while saving time and out-of-pocket costs.

• Over 150 hours of free continuing education content approved by most professional societies
• Premium credits for good risk management practices including continuing education attendance, limitation of liability contract language, and LEED accreditation
• Exceptional claims services
• Complimentary contract review services with coverage advice from in-house professionals addressing over 50 common problem areas
• In-house risk management seminars and procedure reviews available

Holistic approach — when both your professional liability and property & casualty (P&C) policies are placed with RLI, you can expect to receive the following benefits:

• Better coordination of coverage with one insurer — exclusions may exist under one policy because there’s coverage under another policy
• No finger pointing from one insurer to another in unclear areas of coverage during the claims process — See our examples ›
• More “money in the bank” with one insurer in the event of any professional liability or P&C claim
• Multiline policy discount

Limited distribution — we work with a select group of specialist brokers in the design professionals industry to add value in:

• Advising on common coverage issues/requests that design firms typically face as a result of contract requirements
• Providing risk management suggestions and learning opportunities specific to your field of expertise
• Issuing certificates of insurance promptly and accurately
