Alternative Practice

Allied Public Risk’s Alternative Practice specializes in underwriting Public Sector exposures that are written with self-insured retentions (SIR) of at least $50,000. We have the capability to deliver both insurance and reinsurance products to Public Sector clients, with a broad appetite that includes municipalities & counties, K-12 school districts and community colleges, special service districts, water districts, fire districts, park districts, and pools/JPAs.

Significant primary and excess capacity is available depending on the risk profile of the Public Entity client and loss history:

• Casualty capacity offered to $11 million depending on account characteristics.
• Additional casualty capacity may be afforded on selected accounts via Allied World’s Excess Department;
• Excess casualty limits are issued on a following-form basis in order to provide the client with the benefit of the highly customized coverage features of the primary policy form.
• Any qualified third-party administrator (TPA) will be considered subject to evaluation of their capabilities.
• Self-administered claims by the entity may also be acceptable subject to evaluation of staff experience and capabilities.
