Claim of the Week(3/29/2017): Onerous Public Contracts
Often, the biggest challenge in taking on a public project isn't the project itself, but the owner—the city, school district, state, etc. In addition to the normal pressures that confront any project, public projects have their own.

In this case, the insured was retained by a long-time client to render an opinion on structural issues prior to acquisition of a large comme
