After years of working as a landscape designer, I have completed all LARE exams and submitted to the Arizona BTR for Landscape Architectural Registration.

Now I am on the hunt for professional liability insurance. I have only gotten one quote, from Leatzow Insurance, who came highly recommended on this site. Being a frugal and thorough type, I would like to get multiple quotes. Does anyone here have any other insurance providers they would recommend for professional liability?

Thanks in advance.

Are you going to be doing design/build with your own company doing the installations? If not, I think that you probably want errors & omissions insurance rather than liability insurance.

My agent gave me “Victor Schinnerer (sp) Insurance Company” application forms for E&O.

James,

This has been discussed in various forms before on land8. It is difficult to give/get accurate information on this site because insurance regulation is a state affair, and what may be true in Ohio won’t be in California. I suggest talking with other local professionals or talking with a local independent insurance agency which may give you competitive quotes.

Keller-Lowry out of Colorado is great at what they do. They will ‘hunt’ for the best quotes.

Outstanding customer service as-well~!

it is always a good idea to go to a large broker and ask them to get you a quote from the market to suit your own circumstances. You may fancy asking insurers direct then find you actually dont save money even paying a brokers commission. The answer is awlays a lemon though, u got to suck it to see how sweet it is. Another thing is that the broker should have wording specialists to safeguard you and like a lawyer you can sue them if they foul up (or issue third party notice of you get sued). You may consider that is worth their commission.
