An agent secures policies for companies from the general marketplace. Almost all agents sell more than just monoline workers compensation policies. Agents can be direct writers (working for a carrier) or independent.

Some new online agencies such as Pie Insurance use computer algorithms and data analytics to underwrite and place policies.
We simulated signing up with a few of the online agencies. One promised that you can sign up in less than 3 minutes. The website used outside information to make the underwriting decisions.
Please remember that J&L consults on workers’ compensation policies, loss run, E-Mods premium audits, and serves a expert witnesses in court cases.
