This CLE course will review the critical differences between insurance and suretyship and the interplay between CGL policies and performance bonds for losses involving defective work or property damage. Our panel of experts will discuss best practices to minimize construction project risk through both CGL policies and performance bonds.

Description

CGL insurance and performance bonds are two common financial risk mitigation tools for construction projects. While there are similarities and overlap, liability insurance and surety bonds are very different products and respond to losses in different ways.

Defective workmanship claims in a construction contractor's default can implicate both insurance and surety bonds. Consequently, practitioners representing project owners, contractors, insurers, or sureties must thoroughly understand the differences between performance bonds and CGL policies, the protections provided, when each comes into play, and where they overlap.

Listen as our authoritative panel of construction practitioners explains the distinctions between insurance and suretyship, identifies potential overlap and the interplay between CGL policies and performance bonds for defective workmanship and property damages, and offers best practices for minimizing risk and maximizing coverage.
