Knowledge
Leatzow Insurance has been insuring and
educating your profession or 20 years about the real risks to your
business, rather than perception. With our specialization in protecting
your profession, we have more experience with actual claims, litigation,
demands and problems affecting landscape architecture than any insurance
agency, law firm or design firm in the world. Our knowledge base stems
from "real world" experiences, not conjecture. We share this
knowledge with our member firms to reduce their actual exposure, increase
the success of their practices, and of course to reduce needless financial
liability. As a result, we can offer Professional Liability insurance
rates lower than any available to Landscape Architects and other green
industry design professionals.

Common Questions and Their Answers
Here's answers to a few of the most common questions
people have about risk management for Landscape Architecture professionals,
in our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section.
- Why do I even need professional liability (E&O) insurance?
- If your work products include designs, opinions, studies and similar information, you can only cover the risk/exposure from those work products with professional liability. General liability does not cover them and generally excludes them.
- Why do I need to use a written contract?
- If trouble arises even years later relating to a project in which you participated, you will need strong evidence to prove what your exact obligations were. A written contract with your customer's signature provides that evidence and is legally enforceable. Absent such a document, you have trouble proving what you were hired to do versus others on the project.
