Land Surveyor Insurance
Land Surveyors provide the legal and physical framework for every land-based project. Since an error as small as a few inches can lead to massive boundary disputes or structural encroachments, their insurance is built to manage the high cost of "measurement negligence," subject to the specific terms and exclusions of the policy.
1. Professional Liability (Errors & Omissions)
-
This is the critical coverage for surveyors, protecting against claims of inaccurate mapping or boundary descriptions.
-
It covers the legal defense and damages if a surveyor incorrectly identifies a property line, causing a developer to build a structure on land they don't own.
-
If a topographic error leads to a failed drainage design, the surveyor may be held responsible for the redesign and reconstruction costs.
2. Inland Marine (Equipment Coverage)
-
Surveyors use highly expensive, sensitive equipment like total stations, GPS receivers, and data collectors.
-
Standard property insurance often fails to cover these items when they are "in transit" or in the field; Inland Marine ensures these tools are protected against theft, damage, or loss while on a job site.
3. General Liability
-
Surveyors are often the first on a site, frequently navigating rugged terrain, private properties, or active roads.
-
General Liability protects the firm if a surveyor accidentally causes property damage (e.g., cutting a fence or damaging a utility) or if a third party is injured by surveying equipment left in a public area.
4. Cyber & Data Liability
-
Modern surveying relies on complex GIS data and digital plats that are shared via the cloud.
-
This coverage addresses the costs of a data breach or the corruption of essential digital records that could halt a client's project.
