How Gerald Ross Agency Helps You Save
Why Some Businesses Are Hard to Place
Standard insurance carriers decline certain businesses due to high claims history, hazardous operations, unusual business types, or location in high-risk areas. Common hard-to-place industries include: contractors with prior claims, cannabis-related businesses, adult entertainment, certain food service operations, and businesses in wildfire-prone areas.
The Surplus Lines Market Solution
The surplus lines market provides coverage for businesses that standard carriers decline. Surplus lines carriers are not admitted in Oregon but are regulated by the state. They accept higher risk in exchange for higher premiums and more flexible underwriting.
How Gerald Ross Agency Helps
Gerald Ross Agency has relationships with multiple surplus lines carriers and specialty insurers. We can often find coverage for businesses that have been declined by multiple standard carriers. Contact us at (541) 469-3144 to discuss your situation.
Improving Your Insurability
In some cases, steps can be taken to improve your business's insurability — such as implementing safety programs, reducing claims, or making property improvements. Gerald Ross Agency can advise you on what steps might help you qualify for standard market coverage.
