Architects' Claims Stories describe the events of actual case studies of professional liability insurance claims against architects, and are for the benefit of all architects, interns and architectural technologists in Ontario, Canada – and beyond. Each story recounts the circumstances of an insurance claim, inspired by, the 6,000-or-so, that Pro-Demnity Insurance Company has defended. The Stories have been fictionalized, to protect the identity of the parties involved. Every Claim Story features a unique cast of characters: the Architect, the client, the sub-contractors and others, whose circumstances are part of an unfolding drama, from the origin of the claim right up to the often-surprising outcome. Valuable lessons abound concerning the very factual risks – insured and uninsured – of everyday architectural practice.
