Novatae Risk Group offers a specialized Workers Compensation program tailored for warehouse operations. Warehouse environments present a concentrated set of exposures — lifting, material handling, forklift operations, repetitive motion, and slip/trip hazards — that can produce significant comp claims if not placed with the right underwriting and claims partners. This program pairs focused underwriting with flexible market access to help you place warehouse risks with confidence. Overview of the Program Novatae Risk Group lists a warehouse workers’ compensation solution underwritten by an "A" rated carrier and administered through experienced MGA/E&S capacity. The program is designed for single-location and multi-location warehouses, distribution centers, and third-party logistics (3PL) operations that require a market tuned to the unique exposures of material handling employers. Submit complete applications for fast turnaround and clear underwriting decisions.
