  • AmTrust Workers Comp Program
  • The workers compensation marketplace has heated up as the end of the year nears. Many carriers are under budget as a result of rate-cutting & the application of scheduled credits.

    The mono-line WC carriers are fighting hard to retain their market share. Lists of acceptable classes of business have been broadened and maximum acceptable e-mod levels have been raised.

    One of our companies in particular, AmTrust, has been very aggressive lately. To view a listing of their acceptable classes and applicable minimum premiums, please click here...
