Exposure Analysis

We deliver a systematic approach to evaluating and reducing your loss exposure. We do not believe you should insure every exposure. We do believe you should clearly understand your exposures and thereby make educated decisions to manage, control, retain or insure them.

Market Awareness

Our continuous study and assessment of the professional liability insurance arena enables us to access the key markets our clients need. Professional liability underwriters are located throughout the country and we make the extra effort to meet with them personally, face to face. Insurance is a relationship business and we treat our insurance company relationships with as much importance as our client relations. In most situations, we are the insurance company’s lead broker in Albuquerque, NM. Our efforts enable us to effectively market your account to the right underwriters in order to obtain the appropriate coverage at the lowest realistic price.

Contract Review 

As a professional services firm, you will come across a variety of contracts — all which carry their own implication. Commercial property leases, auto rental agreements, and professional services contracts, just to name a few, all need to be reviewed by an experienced and knowledgeable agent for risk management and insurability implications. At PCIA, we will review your contracts to make certain you understand the risks you are being asked to accept and we'll advise us accordingly.

​

Education 

We can help you reduce your Total Cost of Risk, but we can’t do it without your participation. To help you make educated decisions, we hold client educational seminars designed specifically for design professionals.

Monthly Newsletters 

As a client you will be receiving informative and educational newsletters.

​

Application Assistance 

Many brokers simply take your completed application and forward it on to the insurance company. We prefer to sit down with you and review your application line by line so we can make certain that it is completed correctly and, equally important, that you understand the underwriting ramifications of each question. Your insurance application can serve as an audit of your business practices and we can help you determine which practice areas need to be addressed to lower your Total Cost of Risk.
