Workers Compensation

Workers Comp Carriers Compared

The right WC carrier depends on your industry class code, payroll size, experience modification rate (EMR), and loss history.

⚠️ Georgia WC is required for all employers with 3 or more employees. Sole proprietors are excluded by default but may elect to be included.

Commercial Auto

Commercial Auto Carriers Compared

Commercial auto is a hard market right now. Progressive dominates for fleets and specialty vehicles. Your personal auto policy does not cover any vehicle used for business beyond incidental commuting.

Cyber Insurance

Cyber Liability Carriers Compared

Cyber is mandatory for any business that stores customer data, processes payments, or relies on digital systems. A single ransomware event costs a small business $200,000+ on average.

🔒 Your BOP has zero cyber coverage by default unless you add a specific cyber endorsement or standalone policy.

Specialty and Surplus Lines

Specialty and E&S Carriers Compared

When admitted carriers decline a risk, E&S carriers step in. They are non-admitted, meaning Georgia's guaranty fund does not back their claims if the carrier becomes insolvent.

⚠️ E&S policies are non-admitted. Georgia's guaranty fund does not cover E&S claims if the carrier becomes insolvent. Carrier financial strength matters even more here.
