In today’s construction environment, owners face increasing exposure from design related errors, pollution conditions, eroded professional limits, and delayed or disputed recoveries. Traditional design professional practice policies were never built to fully protect owners—especially in a market constrained by social inflation, nuclear verdicts, and shrinking A&E capacity. Our speakers will offer a practical walkthrough of Owner’s Protective Professional & Pollution Insurance (OPPI).
Reasons You Should Attend:
- Coverage built for owners: Learn how OPPI’s Protective Professional, Protective Pollution, and Third-Party Claim Defense sit excess of project team insurance to protect your interests.
- Why project team policies fall short: See how eroded limits, market constraints, and unrelated claims can leave owners financially exposed.
- Real-world loss scenarios: Explore common owner losses—from surveying errors to design-related moisture issues—and how OPPI responds when underlying insurance doesn’t.
- Faster resolution, less uncertainty: Understand how OPPI’s proactive settlement approach can accelerate recovery when negotiations stall.
- What underwriters need to issue terms: Walk away knowing the key inputs required to secure OPPI coverage efficiently and without delays.
