Hello everyone, I appreciate any insight that you could offer. I am an independent agent in NJ and really just started to expand from doing only WC on the commercial side. One of my roofing WC clients asked me to shop out their GL because they felt like they were paying way too much.
Current carrier is CNA, premium is $49,000. Only one claim since 2010, which was in 2013 for $58,000. I quoted it out and well in NJ does not seem to be a ton of options for roofers to begin with. Got a quote back from Kinsale Insurance Company » Construction
Quote came back at $31,000 all in. Huge savings obviously, even has a lower deductible. All coverage's listed are apples to apples.
Is CNA's premium just much higher because it had a claim with the insured that was significant?
Would love any insight that can be provided, much appreciated ahead of time. Thank you
