Hard-To-Place Workers' Compensation Woes

High-exposure or hard-to-place workers’ compensation account management needs finesse. These accounts need to be treated as custom or “specialty-niche” programs instead of the industries normal “big-box” approach. Typically the tougher classes (premiums larger than $150,000) do not benefit from this type of policy delivery or management solution. They seek custom plans with lower costs because in these industries their budget is the major factor.

The issue lies in your hands as their agent and representative, to find a policy that fits within their budget and provides the proper coverage. Unfortunately, things like “severity potential” and class push their premiums so high that your client has to cut costs that effects their company's financial future!!

Who doesn't want lower premiums for more or specialized coverage? The days of picking and choosing which policies to write are over, as options have opened up to consumers and agents alike - with speedy communication, easy to access tools, raters and it will only get worse. I am glad US Risk is open to handling the needs of smaller and tougher insurance buyers.
