Transportation

Our transportation account is comprised of product offerings written in the United States, on domestic paper, and specializing in for-hire trucking and cannabis transportation. We offer products targeted to for-hire trucking companies of all sizes and comprised of physical damage, motor truck cargo, truckers’ general liability, and non-trucking liability through our non-admitted line as well as auto physical damage and motor truck cargo through our admitted line. Our cannabis transportation products are comprised of auto physical damage and cargo (including cash) written on a non-admitted basis in all states where cannabis has been legalized.

Casualty

Our casualty account comprises commercial general liability, covering low hazard types of exposure such as slip and fall, food poisoning, etc. We are not a market for casualty business where there is any significant products exposure.

We will also write business on a package basis combining general liability and property under one policy. We have also worked with distribution partners to produce niche products where appropriate.

Commercial Property

The main focus of the commercial property account is on small- to medium-sized commercial risks with total insured values below $5m. We will also write business on a package basis combining general liability and property under one policy.

Homeowners

We write homeowners business in both the USA and Canada. We focus on the middle market in terms of property values but will write both low- and high-value risks. We have established a Quote Bind and Issue platform that provides a wide breadth of coverage options and flexibility along with bordereau production.

Providing outstanding claims service to our clients, including Managing Agents, brokers and policyholders, is of paramount importance.

When a claim happens it can be a worrying time for our insured and they need assurance that their claim will be handled fairly, promptly and efficiently with the appropriate support and advice provided. It is the quality, speed, clarity of communication and professionalism of our claims service which provides that assurance.
