If you’re in the engineering industry, there is a unique set of risks and challenges that you face, which aren’t covered by generalist insurance policies. As a civil, structural, mechanical or electrical engineer, you need guidance from a broker who understands the unique liabilities and challenges of your industry.
At Barrack Broking, we’re proud to be exactly that. The engineering industry means that engineers are at risk of claims arising due to errors, omissions, design negligence, calculations and general advice that can lead to structural failures, project delays or even financial loss for the client.
As specialist brokers, we understand the specific challenges and risks in your industry so that we can help you find an insurance policy that ticks all your boxes. Don’t go it alone, we’ll be your partner on the market, from start to finish.
Standard insurance and generic policies often have coverage limitations that leave engineers vulnerable. The truth is, even the smallest error can lead to catastrophic damage to a client or their project, resulting in legal claims and action taken against the engineer.
So, what are the unique risks that engineers face that general policies just fall short for?
This protects engineers when claims of financial loss arise due to professional negligence, errors or mistakes for the services provided to their client. This can be design imperfections, incorrect calculations or miscalculated deadlines. Essentially, if you’re required to sign off on a project’s certificates, you could be liable for any of the above.
Where property damage or personal injury is caused by you, or your business’s activities on site (or by the products supplied by you), claims may be made. For engineers who conduct site visits or assessments, this is particularly important as poor site advice may cause physical accidents and injuries.
If your business or work involves confidential project plans or integrating project management software, cyber liability could be something you need protection against. This would cover any financial loss or expenses incurred for cyber attacks, data breaches or system attacks.
We understand that not every engineer specialises in the same field, work or area. So, you may face particularly niche challenges that most insurance policies won’t cover you for. At Barrack Broking, we’re dedicated to ensuring you’re appropriately covered so you’re not vulnerable when you’re just trying to do your job.
That’s why we leverage our industry knowledge and expertise to negotiate comprehensive and tailored packages for your insurance policy. This can include:
Where claims against wrongful acts of management arise, such as Work Health and Safety law breaches or defamation, management liability protects directors against legal action.
This is coverage for any damage that occurs to a specific contract or project work.
If an event like a fire, storm or office damage occurs, this protects your business’s revenue and income in the meantime.
As an engineer, there is likely a wide range of specialised equipment that you rely on or use regularly to complete your work (i.e. testing equipment or a computer). Tool insurance ensures that your equipment is covered for any damage, so your business isn’t impacted during this time.
At Barrack Broking, we’re the experts. So, when you need to find an insurance policy that works for you and covers your unique risks, we’ll make sure to find you the best terms. We leverage our industry expertise and knowledge to navigate the market for you and negotiate the best conditions and pricing for your insurance policy.
Your unique risks as an engineer need to be protected, and you shouldn’t wait until it’s too late. When you need it most, you’ll want assurance that everything is in place to protect you and your business. So, we’ll find you a policy that protects all aspects of your profession, and if you need to make a claim, we’ll manage the entire process from start to finish.
Our clients rely on us for strategic advice and dependable support.
