Surplus Line Brokers
The California excess and surplus line insurance market has narrowed over the past 5 years but remains an aggressive industry straining the ability of wholesale surplus line brokers to respond to the growing demand. The California Insurance Commissioner has made this a high-profile industry and the cautious wholesaler and/or surplus line broker must be alert to the changing attitudes of the regulator. The transaction of excess and surplus line business, albeit profitable, carries the real threat of regulation by administrative fait. Wholesalers and surplus line broker's must be vigilant against litigation instituted by the uninformed consumer and their attorneys.
We will up-date this website periodically to address evolving legal issues governing this essential segment of the insurance industry in California.
