Dealey Renton & Associates (DRA) is one of the largest specialty brokers in the country , representing more than 3,000 design professional firms.  Our focus for more than 50 years has been to assist our valued clients with their risk management, loss prevention and insurance placement needs.  We believe this month's articles will help our clients manage their business risks and improv e their professional practices.


Workers Compensation
There is no simple answer, although Gary Hinson of XL Claims provides some guidance to help companies make a decision whether or not to report a minor employee injury to their workers' compensation insurer.

Claims
Periodically, firms are asked to bend the rules for a major client, which may lead to an unexpected and costly outcome.  Cameron Poole of Poole Professional provides a good reminder story about why firms should never abandon good risk management practices.



Mergers & Acquisitions
Dana Coleman Caparoso of Travelers Risk Management provides several 'prenuptial' professional liability ideas to consider and negotiate in the unlikely (but possible) scenario that the merger/acquisition becomes troubled.
