Our New York and other Northeastern States producers have been telling us for some time that they had a lack of viable options when it came to finding Workers Comp coverage for their tougher to place clients. Our New York partners are telling us they need solutions and capacity. We have put together offerings for our Agency partners that they can now pass along to their customers, whether for companies that has as few as 5 employees to employers that have 1000 or more," said Robert Linero, the CEO. "These products are offered by several of our National "A" Rated Carriers as well as our highest rated regional partners."

Empire Underwriters strives to make the process easier, faster and to help the producer keep more business. We have had this successful model in the West Coast and Southeastern states for many years and now it's time to bring these solutions to New York and the Northeast corridor. We have the capacity, the infrastructure and the carriers. Now we just need to our agency partners to launch," Noted Senior Underwriter, Greg Brittain.
