Self-insurance for workers’ compensation is a strategic choice to retain and fund losses directly instead of transferring them to a traditional carrier. Unlike standard policies, an individual self-insurance program requires a formal plan to pay claims as they occur—using operating cash or a dedicated reserve—along with compliance steps to meet state requirements. Caitlin Morgan Insurance Services helps agents and brokers evaluate, design and place Individual Self-Insurance Workers' Compensation programs. Our team brings programmatic experience and market access to guide you through feasibility analysis, regulatory filings, actuarial review, and vendor selection so your client’s program is structured and compliant from day one. Ideal Accounts and Appetite This solution is built for larger, financially stable employers that can demonstrate strong claims and safety management. Typical fits include manufacturers, large healthcare operations, colleges and universities, and sizable service organizations with robust loss-control programs. You might have a client with 500+ employees facing escalating premiums and limited control over claims handling — an individual self-insurance program can give them transparency, control, and potential long-term savings. Coverage Highlights and Advantages Self-insurance gives your client direct control over claims administration, loss prevention, and cash flow. Key benefits include: Customizable claims handling and selection of third-party administrators (TPAs) Improved cash flow and the ability to tailor reserve management Greater emphasis on workplace safety and loss prevention initiatives Potential cost savings over time for low-loss employers Applicants must also satisfy state-specific requirements such as surety bonds, reserve funding and periodic reporting. Caitlin Morgan supports compliance, actuarial review and provider selection to help ensure a sustainable program. Underwriting Notes Each submission begins with a feasibility and financial analysis. Underwriting looks at claims history, financial strength, industry exposures, safety programs and risk tolerance. There is no fixed minimum premium published here; applicants must show the financial capacity to fund losses and meet state reserve obligations.

Policy Highlights for Directors and Officers Insurance: In today’s litigious and highly regulated business environment, directors and officers face elevated risks and increasing personal liability. Without a dedicated D&O policy, their personal assets may be exposed if the organization cannot or will not indemnify them. Colonial General Insurance Agency, Inc. offers a flexible, market-backed Directors and Officers Insurance program designed to protect individual leaders and the organizations they serve. Overview of the Program From Colonial General Insurance Agency, Inc. Colonial General operates as a Managing General Agency and an Excess & Surplus Lines broker with broad market access. That position lets us place D&O solutions for nonprofits, privately held firms, and publicly traded companies.

Ideal Accounts and Appetite This D&O program is a strong fit for: Nonprofit organizations (charities, foundations, trade associations) Privately held companies across a wide range of industries Public companies and pre-IPO firms managing evolving governance risks The program commonly accommodates mid-market accounts and organizations with standard governance structures. It can also be packaged with Employment Practices Liability (EPLI), Crime, and Fiduciary Liability to create a consolidated management liability solution. Coverage Highlights and Advantages Key features agents can expect from Colonial General’s D&O program include: Smooth excess policy structure with an expansive definition of “drop-down event,” allowing the excess to respond when underlying carriers deny or intend to deny coverage. No automatic exclusions for bodily injury, property damage, or pollution—broader than many standard D&O forms. A broad definition of “loss,” improving the policy’s ability to respond to diverse claim types. A targeted “organization vs. insured person” exclusion that focuses on collusive internal actions rather than sweeping corporate exclusions. A comprehensive definition of “claim” that includes arbitration, mediation, extradition proceedings, subpoenas, and similar proceedings. Enhanced Outside Directorship Liability for insureds serving on external boards. Specific terms and pricing will vary by carrier and the nature of the risk; Colonial General uses its market relationships to secure competitive and appropriate wording. Underwriting Notes and Minimum Premiums Each submission is underwritten on its own merits. Underwriting requirements and appetite vary by carrier—submissions with prior D&O claims, governance or fiduciary concerns, or operations in higher-risk industries will receive additional scrutiny. While there is no published blanket minimum premium, Colonial General places accounts across admitted and non-admitted markets to match cost and coverage needs.
