Property management operations present a broad range of workers' compensation challenges — multiple property types, varied employee duties, seasonal or transient staffing, and multi-jurisdiction exposures. Novatae Risk Group offers a specialized Non-Standard Workers Comp Insurance program tailored to property management risks that are difficult to place in the standard market. The program helps agents and brokers secure reliable coverage for higher-exposure or hard-to-place accounts. Backed by more than 30 years of experience and delivered in partnership with Empire Underwriters, Novatae's program provides flexible solutions to control costs, improve compliance, and simplify claims handling. It is designed to serve accounts exiting assigned-risk pools or state funds, non-renewed accounts, new ventures with operational need, and other non-standard placements where standard markets are unwilling or unable to offer terms. Ideal Accounts and Appetite Property management firms with difficult class codes and elevated experience mods (X-mods typically 1.30–3.00) Accounts leaving state funds, assigned-risk, or an insurer of last resort Non-renewed or canceled accounts with prior loss activity New ventures or startups with no prior coverage but valid payroll and operational plans Accounts with coverage lapses that can provide a loss affidavit and supporting documentation Example fits: you might have a client who manages multiple apartment communities with on-site maintenance and security staff and a recent claims history, or a property manager of retail centers that experienced prior coverage gaps and increasing payroll exposure.
