Novatae Risk Group partners with Empire Underwriters to offer a specialty Auto Body Shop Workers Compensation Insurance program designed for independent agents and brokers. This program focuses on the unique operations and exposures of auto body and collision repair shops, delivering practical underwriting, competitive placement options, and complementary lines of coverage to help you fully protect your clients. We work with an "A"-rated carrier panel and multiple markets (carriers vary) to provide flexible solutions and fast responses. As a Managing General Underwriter and Excess & Surplus Lines Broker, Novatae Risk Group can help you place accounts that may be challenging for standard carriers while also offering admitted options where available. In addition to workers compensation, the program can assist with General Liability, Commercial Auto, and other package needs to give a more complete placement for your auto body clients.
