Celebrating Excellence: Our Transportation Team’s 2024 Achievements

In the dynamic world of transportation insurance, success is dependent on having a skilled and dedicated team. We are proud to highlight our Transportation Team. Their exceptional efforts have not only transformed the Transportation department, but have also been instrumental in driving success for our agency partners.

The Triple Threat

Meet the Triple Threat behind hard-to-place risks! With a combined 45 years of insurance experience, this powerhouse team is known for their knowledge and teamwork.

Long Term Care Facilities

The long-term care market continues to see disruption as several admitted and non-admitted carriers have exited the space. Appetite and capacity remain a challenge, with carriers continuing to experience difficulties with claim frequency and severity (social inflation, nuclear verdicts). Carriers have implemented stronger underwriting with a focus on staffing, survey data, and loss experience, but rate increases are still being seen. Check out the flyer for more information!

Habitational Property Rates Stabilizing

In recent years, the habitational property market is showing signs of stabilizing, with rates leveling off after a period of increases. However, terms with wind/hail (W/H) deductibles and higher all-other-peril (AOP) deductibles, are expected to remain.

Our commercial binding team is here to help you find the right solution and navigate the complexities of the market. We can write most coverages for habitational risks including general liability, property, package policies, monoline GL, monoline property, and excess lines. Read this article to learn more!

Check out a list of some of our recent successes by department.

Hard Market Hacks – Maximizing Your Submission

Market conditions have recently led to dramatic growth of the excess and surplus market, meaning underwriters are constantly inundated with submissions. This cheat sheet developed by our 2024 summer interns can help you craft a quality submission that can combat the trend of increasing turnaround time.

Strengthening Connections: The Impact of Agent-Broker Collaboration

Throughout recent memory, the industry has experienced a market landscape seldom seen since 1985. Uncertain investing opportunities, social and economic inflation, and increases in the frequency of catastrophic and nuclear losses have contributed to swings in carrier appetites and underwriting guidelines, along with increasing rates – creating challenging market conditions. Our experienced brokers are here to help navigate any market condition!

From Industry-Specific to Widespread Outages: Unavoidable Casualties from Service Providers

Technology has a funny way of being our best friend or our worst enemy. We rely on technology for almost every operational task to run our businesses and make each day successful. It is nearly an afterthought until it isn’t. Quite a few incidents have shown how strong that technological dependence is within the global economy and the dramatic consequences an outage, or a shutdown, can have downstream.

Commercial Binding Market Conditions: A Guide for Our Agency Partners

As you are well aware, the insurance market remains highly unstable. Standard markets and carriers are frequently entering and exiting various lines and classes of business.

Q2 Cyber Market Update

As we march into Q3, this is a good time to reflect on the past six months and review the initial 2023 claims data now being published to identify exposures that need attention moving forward. In the cyber market, 2023 has seen a surprising upward trend in cyber claims, specifically ransomware attacks. This increase is interesting because the previous year (2022) saw a small dip in numbers, which allowed the market to soften a bit and enabled insureds to access robust coverages at favorable prices (similar to pre-pandemic rates).

Excess Motor Truck Cargo Article

In recent years, the cost of goods in almost every industry has been rising. As a result, many trucking companies now need to obtain higher motor truck cargo limits because the value of the cargo they transport has increased.

When the main motor truck cargo carrier is unable to provide the higher limits, an excess motor truck cargo policy can be used to provide additional coverage beyond the primary policy.

Erika Bovair & Nicole Percifield’s article provides a detailed explanation of why excess coverage may be necessary and what information is needed to obtain a quote.

Artificial Intelligence Cyber Attacks Could be Uncovered

Urgent Warning: Artificial Intelligence Cyber Attacks Could be Uncovered!

Due to the restrictive property sector and the efforts to remarket accounts to keep them on the books, it is crucial to communicate the changes occurring within the Professional Liability sector. These changes could be very costly for insureds if not addressed now.

Over the past year, the landscape of state comprehensive privacy laws in the United States has significantly evolved, marking a pivotal moment for data protection and privacy rights.

D&O Private Company Flyer

Is your insured making excuses for not carrying D&O insurance? Excuses like, “We are a private company; no one will sue us,” or, “My personal assets are not at risk!” Make no mistake, private companies can be sued and their directors and officers’ personal assets are at risk. Claims for company and financial mismanagement and shareholder derivative demands are on the rise. Additionally, lack of oversight and social inflation is increasing the cost of claims.
