Swiss Re Corporate Solutions has announced the launch of a workers’ compensation insurance product for mid-sized businesses in the US through Elevate, the company’s middle-market business. Elevate Workers’ Compensation is now available through the broker market, and will initially focus on the hospitality, manufacturing, professional services, real estate and wholesale/retail sectors.
“With the introduction of workers’ compensation, brokers can source most of the primary P&C coverages their clients need from one place,” said Walt Sykes, head of middle corporate business for North America at Swiss Re Corporate Solutions. “We are excited to provide this new protection as we continue to add to our suite of products and industry enhancements.”
Workers’ compensation is the latest Elevate product, joining property and general liability, launched earlier this year.
