We work with multiple carriers on a non-admitted basis to provide competitive placement options where admitted carriers may not be available. The program supports both new and renewal business and is set up to help agents place accounts with prior loss history or assigned risk experience.

Accounts with prior large losses or those that have been declined in the admitted market are welcome — provided they meet underwriting guidelines. Coverage Features and Risk Control Beyond placement, American Lumber Underwriters offers risk control resources aimed at reducing frequency and severity of claims: On-site operational safety inspections Claims reviews and hands-on support Web-based training tools and streaming safety videos Safety literature, white papers, and DVDs These resources are intended to strengthen safety programs, help improve loss experience, and support long-term premium stability.
