Industry Classes

Admitted Status

CLAIMS & PRICING

What to Expect

Claims Experience

Standard claims service through Farmers Insurance Group infrastructure. Adequate for specialty risk claims; not the differentiator on this carrier.

Pricing Context

Pricing reflects specialty risk. Higher than standard markets for comparable exposure, but often the only admitted option for specialty property types.

vs Competitors

Primary specialty competitors are Stillwater, American Modern, and surplus lines markets. Foremost typically wins on manufactured homes and seasonal property; Stillwater wins on landlord DP-3 for metro investment properties.
