Layer 1

Leading with care

Public entities face distinct workforce, property and liability risks as regulations evolve and budgets tighten. We lead with care and consistency, helping public entities protect people, property and budgets by aligning safety programs, insurance coverage and clear liability protocols across departments to protect employees and the public.

Ahead of emerging trends

Using actionable data and flexible, scalable technology, we help organizations determine the right approach for their changing needs, and the breadth of claims that come their way — including property, liability and workers’ compensation. Our interactive benchmarking tool, supported by the largest dataset in the industry, provides insights into emerging trends, shifting conditions and insurance-related loss drivers.

“

“I think it’s important to understand that public entities affect and influence us all. When we help a public entity save a dollar, get their employees back to work, help replace a damaged piece of property, it benefits us all. We all pay taxes and use the services that our public entitles provide.”
