Over the years, Wortham and Texas AGA have learned a few things about insuring high-risk businesses. One valuable lesson that we pass on to our clients is that we can never be too careful. Our thorough, painstaking procedures and discovery processes may seem excessive, unless you have dreaded experience, that revealed a level of risk exposure you never thought you had.

The following tell you what you can expect from the Wortham and Texas AGA team:

EXPLORING YOUR BUSINESS

We already know your industry. And, while that knowledge and expertise is what we are known for, understanding your business is the only way we can truly help you maintain and protect your unique competitive position.

RISK MANAGEMENT

Most small to mid-sized companies, find it impractical to employ a full-time risk manager. As your broker, we will act as your risk manager to assist you in critical processes that help safe-guard the future of your company including:

• Identifying risk
• Analyzing the risks
• Controlling the risks
• Insuring the risks
• Administering the risk management program

INSURANCE PLACEMENT

In our industry, we call it "marketing" your coverage. In other words, we look for the right company to underwrite your risk and best provide the coverage, features, terms and premiums necessary to secure your protection.

As your broker, one of our most important and valuable responsibilities is to negotiate your insurance program with your interests in mind. Since this process includes obtaining coverage and premium terms, our special relationships with the top underwriters of insurance for your industry give you invaluable advantages.

POLICY REVIEW

We will provide a thorough review of all policies to ensure that all quoted coverages are included as quoted and that premiums are calculated in accordance with our proposals.

We also provide the following services in the normal course of managing your account:

• Submission and monitoring of claims.

• Review of experience modifiers: examination of factors in the history of your company that affect the amount of your premiums and the nature of your coverages.
• Review of premium audits: obtaining information to determine the financial and risk factors used to calculate your insurance premiums and terms of insurance.
