Coverage Highlights and Advantages
Multiple carrier options to match varied underwriting needs
Same-day quoting and binding when within binding authority
Competitive and aggressive payment plans to support client cash flow
Tailored programs are available for charitable and welfare organizations, social service agencies, schools, day care and group homes, churches and counseling services, sheltered workshops, and a range of medical staffing and clerical/physician accounts.
Specialized USL&H-exposed classes include ship builders and marine service companies, marine construction and tank cleaning, stevedoring and marine terminals, and offshore oil & gas operations.
Tough Classes Over $75,000 in Premium
For larger or higher-risk accounts (typically over $75k premium), the program welcomes complex classes such as:
General contractors, roofers, steel erectors, foundation and framing contractors
Transportation: truckers, taxis/limos, ambulance and convalescent transport
Healthcare: hospitals, nursing homes, home healthcare
Farming, slaughterhouses, quarries, sawmills and related agribusiness
Security services including armored car operations and armed guards
Underwriting Notes and Submission Requirements
There is no minimum premium to submit. To obtain a timely quote, provide the following:
Completed ACORD 130 application
Four years of currently valued, hardcopy loss runs
Experience mod worksheet or four years of historical payrolls
Providing detailed descriptions of operations, subcontractor usage, and any recent safety or return-to-work programs will improve hit rates and speed placement.
Territories and Availability
This program is available in nearly every state — including CA, TX, FL, and NY — covering all 50 states and DC. Admitted options are available in select markets; non-admitted capacity is used where needed to secure placement.
Why Work With VAIL and Atlantic Risk Specialists
As a wholesale broker, VAIL brings decades of workers’ compensation experience and broad carrier relationships. Atlantic Risk Specialists combines in-house binding authority with creative underwriting and rapid turnaround so you can place both routine and challenged comp risks more efficiently. Our team focuses on solutions — whether you need admitted placement in a regulated state, non-admitted capacity for coverage gaps, or layered options for sizable accounts.
Example account scenarios:
You have a start-up roofing contractor with a short loss history and a high mod — the program can consider that risk and often find a market through its specialty carriers.
You represent a regional nursing home group seeking admitted coverage in multiple states — Atlantic Risk Specialists can access admitted options where available and secure non-admitted capacity elsewhere.
