New Book on Contractor Insurance Published
A revised and updated fifth edition of Insurance for Contractors has just been published by Fred. S. James & Co. Previous editions of this book, authored by Walter T. Derk, executive vice president of Fred. S. James & Co. of Illinois and insurance consultant to MCAA, were very much in demand.
Thoroughly revised to reflect interim changes in policy forms and rules since the 1974 edition, the new book will prove of interest to architects, engineers, construction managers, general, prime and subcontractors, property owners, and those whose task it is to keep them properly insured.
Among the topics covered in largely non-technical terms are: Self-Insurance; the New Business Auto Policy: Hold-Harmless Agreements; Association Group Plans; Coordinated Insurance Programs; What to Do When Hit with a Lawsuit: Retrospective Rating Plans; Architects/Engineers Professional Liability, and a new Coverage Checklist for Contractors.
Single copies of the 158-page, 1981 fifth edition are available by mail at $7.50 each, postpaid in the United States. Quantity discounts are available upon request, starting with five or more copies. The books may be ordered from Fred. S. James & Co., 230 W. Monroe St., Chicago, IL 60606.
