Professional Liability

(OP)
I posted a thread a few minutes ago but for some reason it is not showing up in the list of threads.  Hopefully the conversation can still continue.

I figured if I was listed according to the TBPE that i would been seen as liable until proven (likely expensively) otherwise.  My company has E&O insurance so I am covered on that front.  Another concern is that I am employed on a contract basis as a drafter with minimal engineering effort (yes the economy is that bad) and certainly do have not oversight of designs that are issued. Should I have more say in the design if I am listed (or regardless of my status according to TBPE) and should I request higher pay for the use of my PE number even though I am not sealing drawings.  They are afterall advertising there is a PE on staff.  

RE: Professional Liability

Post this in "Starting and Running an Engineering Business".  It will get deleted from here since this is a technical forum.
