Empire Underwriters, in partnership with an “A” rated carrier, offers a specialized Non-Standard Workers’ Compensation program tailored for swimming pool and spa contractors. Through Novatae Risk Group, this program is designed for accounts that fall outside the appetite of the standard market — providing a lifeline to agents seeking solutions for their hard-to-place clients. This program is ideal for accounts facing challenges such as high experience mods, prior coverage lapses, non-renewals, adverse loss history, or tough class codes. Whether your client is being pushed into the assigned risk pool or has been declined by the standard market, we can help you secure competitive coverage with flexible, cash flow-friendly options. Ideal Accounts and Appetite Swimming pool and spa contractors with high X-Mods (1.30 to 3.0) Accounts non-renewed or cancelled due to losses or class of business Clients moving out of state funds or assigned risk pools New ventures with no prior coverage but challenging class codes Accounts with adverse underwriting factors or prior claims history Multi-state exposures or tough-to-place governing class codes For example, you might have a client with a lapse in coverage and a history of losses over $20,000 who installs residential and commercial pools across multiple states. This program is designed exactly for that type of high-need, high-risk client.
