Presented by Design Professional practice team co-chairs Mike Beckelman and Wendy Testa this webinar will address the types of claims and coverage issues anticipated as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak restrictions and conditions placed on construction projects and professionals, what contractual defenses may be available and what facts are necessary to successfully assert these defenses. In addition, the presenters will discuss the potential resources and relief that may be available in contracts, insurance policies and/or through state-mandated relief measures. Lastly, looking forward, the webinar will address risk management tools design professionals can use to prepare for the anticipated surge in claims from COVID-19-related restrictions causing project shutdowns, disruptions and ongoing hazardous conditions on job sites.
