Longshore Workers’ Comp Success Story
After contacting every market available, as well as other wholesalers, this agency contacted PMC. We leveraged our Longshore expertise and great relationships to seal the deal!
Success Story: Our agent partner needed help with their client – a company involved in Industrial, Infrastructure and Marine Construction – which had a multi-state manufacturing risk and needed USL&H coverage. Before contacting PMC the agent went to every market available and even some other wholesalers, but no one could help.
We leveraged our USL&H expertise and great relationship with our partner carrier and their USL&H Construction division to quote and bind coverage. We are one of very few agents and wholesalers who have a relationship with this division, and because of that, we could help our agent get this done.
