Kari,
Attached is our insurance requirements as detailed in the contract. Also, like last time we normally don't add people
onto our professional liability as additional insured (see attached letter on the matter). I think last time the City was fine
with this, if not please let me know. I've signed the contracts and they are in the mail....thanks!

A/E Risk Review
The Name Game: When Your Client Asks to Be.a.Named Insured
Thefollowing material is provided for informational purposes only. Before taking any action that could
have legal or other important consequences, speak with d qual f ed professional who can provide
guidance that considers your own unique circumstances..
It is neither uncommon nor unreasonable for a client to demand that a design-firm carries adequate
professional liability insurance. However, when a client goes one step further and asks to be a "named
insured" on that policy; it's time for a little.client education.
We know of many cases where a'client or a client's risk manager or attorney requests an architect or
engineer to make the:client,(or the client's client) a,named insured on the design professional's
professional liability policy. They mistakenly believe that having the client named as an insured provides
an added measure of protection. But these clients, risk managers and attorneys are ill informed, since
obliging the request could actually cause client protection to evaporate should he or she file a claim on
the policy.
Why You Should Not Make Your Client a Named Insured
Professional liability coverage is typically issued to a design firm and it specifically covers the firm's
registered professionals who sign and seal instruments of service. This type of coverage was created.to
give design,professionals adequate financial resources in the event that their errors, omissions, or
negligent professional acts damaged a client.
Professional liability insurance is not like other policies that compensate insureds who are damaged by
their own negligence. For example, drivers who negligently wreck their cars and are injured receive
compensation from their own insurance company. If a homeowner smokes in bed and his house bums
down, his insurance will compensate the negligent owner for the self-inflicted damages.
But professional.liabil ity insurance is different: it is designed solely to make.payments.to people other
than the iiisured professional in the event the insured's negligent act, error or omission.causes damage to
a second party.
The clients' failure to understand how professional liability insurance works is the crux of the problem.
They don't understand that being named an insured on the policy does not provide added protection
against a design firm's negligent acts. And they need prompt, patient explanations as to why being a
named insured.is a bad idea.
Why is it a bad idea? Because should-a:client become a named insured under,your policy, th&client
would be;covered to the same;extent:asyour;firm. In other words, the policy would "kick in" to protect
your firm and the client in tlie.event either was accused of an error,ointssion of negligent'professional
act. As such, were a named insured client to file.a claim against you, that client-=Trom.an insurer's
viewpoint — would be filing a negligence claim against itself. Such coverage is not afforded by a
professional liability:policy. For that reason in particular, most professional liability insurers will not
permit a client to become a named insured.

There is a second reason why it is disadvantageous for your client.to he a named insured..lfa,third party
files a professional liability claim against your firm, your client could be jointly liable for your acts. Your
client could find itself having to defend a claim 'involving design activities it had absolutely nothing to do
with. And it could get even worse. A claim against the client might be denied by.the insurer since the
client has voluntarily assumed a contractual liability it would not otherwise have under common law. The
client would likely have to pay for its own legal counsel to extricate itself from a situation and pay any
damages assessed against the firm.
Now, consider the situation where your client has one or more registered design professionals on staff.
Were the client to become a named,insured, its design professionals might be automatically covered by
your policy,too. Your policy might be called upon to pay for claims against your client or the client's
design professionals even though those claims have nothing to do with the project you are working on.
This can be,unfortunate for your client as well, for two reasons:
I. Suppose the client's on-staff architect performs moonlighting design work for a disabled elderly
homeowner on a fixed income.The architect makes several serious errors and omissions,' causing
expensive damages. Through discovery, the homeowner's attorney learns that the architect lacks the
assets to defend a suit, let alone pay damages. Counsel then decides to move on the theory that the ability
to moonlight was a salary supplementing benefit provided by the architect's employer and, accordingly,
your client shares some liability. The counsel assumes,with good reason, that a judge will permit this
approach due to the plaintiffs wretched situation. Given the green light, counsel then files suit against
your client and, through discovery, learns that the client is a named insured under your policy, thus
creating professional liability protection for the defendant architect. Assuming your insurer agrees to
defend and indemnify its newfound insured, and settles the matter for the full amount.of coverage
available, the aggregate amount left.in the policy to protect.the client becomes zero!
2. Suppose your client has its own coverage-for professional liability exposures. In that case, given the
same hypothetical circumstance of the moonlighting staff architect, a question would arise about.which
insurer should provide protection. Because the situation would be such a complex mess, your
professional liability insurer would probably decline to provide coverage -- and the other provider may
do the same.As such,your client would probably have to sue both insurers in order to get either to cover.
And hcre's.yet another potential problem. Suppose you agree to.a client's contractual request to be a
named insured on your professional liability policy: You later discover that your insurer refuses to cover
the client. If you do not advise your client that your insurer has declined coverage, you have now
breached your contract with your client.Now consider that the client has uninsured design professionals
on staff. Such a client could state that you failed to provide coverage to the client's design professionals,
something the client bargained for and was counting on. You and/or your firm could wind up having to
defend a claim from your client and..possibly having to defend the client's design professional, most likely
without the help of your professional liability insurer. (Neither professional nor commercial general
liability insurance covers contractual liabilities except for those that are tantamount to covered
conditions.)

Dealing with a Client Request
Sooner or later you will be presented with an onerous contract condition like this:
The Design Professional shall carry professional liability insurance of a;type and in an amount
acceptable to the Client, and the Design Professional shall make the Client a named insured under said
policy. What do you do?
The first course of action.is to educate the client. Explain why the request is not in the client's best
interest. The client may only half hear you, however, and say, something along the lines of, "So & So,
Associates accepts this provision all the time." To that remark,your best response may be, "They may
accept it, but I doubt they can insure it. Do you have anything on file indicating that the condition has
been accepted by So & So's,insurer?"
Also,given the liability exposures that a firm can create for itself by accepting,this request,you might
wish to add, "A firm that apparently is unconcerned about its own liability exposures can hardly be
expected to care about yours."
Suppose that a professional liability insurer actually agrees to accept yourclient as a named insured..
Does that mean your client has extra protection.?.Absolutely not. Remind your client that a professional
liability insurance policy has a stated amount of capacity -the policy limits. Being a:nained insured does
not increase that amount. However, a possibility exists that, should a client make a claim.against the
insured architect.or engineer, the insurer that permitted the client to be named on the policy could deny
coverage. "Why,"ask your client, "should you take that chance?"
Assume you get the.client's attention, but the client still warns some contractual language that ensures the
project is protected by insurance. While it is foolhardy and indeed impossible to guarantee that you will
always have insurance, you can include language that demonstrates your intent to be insured under
reasonable circumstances. Consider offering the client the.following language:
INSURANCE
The Consultant agrees to attempt to maintain professional liability insurance coverage for a period of
design and construction-of the Project, and for a period of_years follotiving substantial completion, if
such coverage is reasonably available at commercially affordable premiums. For the purposes of this
Agreement, "reasonably available"and "commercially affordable"shall mean that more than half the.
consultants practicing the same professional discipline in the state where the project is located are able
to obtain such coverage.
Winning the "Named" Game
Your client may request to.be a named insured on your professional liability policy in the mistaken belief
that it provides "extra" protection.In such instances it is your duty to educate your client and explain that
being a named insured only muddies the waters and may actually decrease the protection your client
desires.
If your client or its attorney balks at your:explanation, schedule a meeting with your client, its legal
.counsel, your firm and your professional liability agent to explain the facts about professional liability
insurance:

• Being a named insured in no way provides added'protection - it can only decrease protection or,
at the least,muddy the waters.
• Many professional liability insurers will not allow the client to be a named insured on the policy.
• If the client,is added as a named insured, the insurer may deny an owner's claim against the
designer.
• Being a named insured may make the owner liable for claims filed by third parties.
• This increased exposure may lead.to,third-party claims that exhaust the policy limits.- thus
stripping away the client'sprotection.
To simply play the "named" game and agree by contract to add Your client as a named insured only
creates risks.for you and your client that are wholly unnecessary. This is simply a game where you and
your client are both likely the losers:
