Next time your A&E client needs professional liability insurance, think about Express 24 from Berkley Design Professional!

What’s Express 24? For qualifying firms, Express 24 is a 24-month, guaranteed premium policy with an aggregate limit that spans both policy years.* Best of all, it offers design firms substantial limits at a discounted cost!

This makes Express 24 a great solution for any design firm looking to keep their professional liability insurance and lower their cost. In short, it’s comprehensive coverage at a cost savings!

Sounds great, doesn’t it?

Now, how exactly does it work? Glad you asked! Let’s take a look at an example:

  • XYZ Architects has an Express 24 policy with limits of $1 million per claim / $3 million aggregate
  • This means they have $3 million dollars in limits to span the 24-month policy period! The maximum paid for each claim would be $1 million dollars. The total amount paid for all claims would be $3 million dollars.

To summarize, Express 24 offers an aggregate limit of no less than two times per claim. The aggregate limit spans the full 24 months. Higher policy limits at discounted prices!
