Liability Decision Grid: Geospatial Errors
Geospatial Context: A structural overview of how coordinate errors (Boundary, Negligence, Delay)
map to different liability frameworks.
These educational guides are designed to help property owners, surveyors, and contractors analyze the factors involved in common liability scenarios. They act as a structured framework for understanding legal risks, but do not satisfy the need for professional legal counsel.

Warning: Raw GPS to CAD Coordinate Discrepancy
Combining uncorrected WGS84 drone data with NAD83 site plans creates a structural shift of 1-2 meters. Review the massive legal implications of this error.

Civil Litigation Benchmarks for Surveying Negligence
Professional Liability data indicates that early settlement for boundary disputes typically ranges from $5,000–$20,000. Full-scale trial defense for geodetic negligence claims averages $60,000–$150,000+ in legal fees alone, often exceeding the value of the disputed land.

GPS Accuracy Alert
Your phone's GPS can be off by 30 meters. This can cause critical errors in your data.
