Being a specialist in commercial insurance within itself gives me an advantage over most insurance brokers who focus on personal lines insurance, however I have been able to further distinguish myself from my competitors from focusing on helping businesses who were placed in Assigned Risk Pools by their current brokers get out of those pools. In most cases, the brokers placed the businesses in those pools because they could not find coverage for them in the voluntary insurance marketplace. Construction risk, trucking risk and businesses who have experienced recent Workers Comp losses are especially difficult to place. However I have established relationships they allow me to place these coverages, thereby removing these businesses from what is deemed as a "last resort" for Workers Comp insurance.
