Ask Your Peers  WC for Diving Contractor (Closed)

Hello Everyone,

I have a client who is a diving contractor and he is currently in the process of getting contracted to work on a commercial account for underwater services. He has been a one man operation but recently hired 2 new employees. He will need to have them on the job with him and the prospected customer is requiring that he has workers compensation coverage for his employees.

I need help finding a market that will write workers compensation for this kind of risk.

Any thoughts?

Good morning Melody. We are a retail agency, and also do some wholesale, licensed in 50 states. We write a lot of marine risks in our office. We have found that smaller risks, such as this, are often best placed with the state fund, as the majority of standard markets will not write it, and those that will write it require higher premiums than this customer is likely to produce.

Perhaps someone else will be able to point you in a better direction, but I would start with the state fund.
