“Tough” or difficult to place risks
The national leader in tough or difficult to place risks
Available in most states, we are the national leader in tough or difficult to place risk coverage, and we pay great commissions (commissions vary by risk, governing code, and size of account). Accounts that wish to get out of a State Work Comp fund, a state “assigned risk pool”, or “insurer of last resort,” or accounts that have been canceled by the “standard market” due to losses or exposure are a great match for these programs.
