Hard-to-place workers’ comp insurance is a type of coverage that is typically provided to businesses that have difficulty obtaining standard workers’ compensation insurance due to a high level of risk associated with their operations. This type of insurance is often sought by businesses that employ workers in high-risk occupations, such as construction, roofing, or logging, or by businesses with a history of frequent workers’ compensation claims.
Hard-to-place workers’ compensation insurance policies typically come with higher premiums and more restrictive terms and conditions than standard workers’ compensation insurance policies. Insurance companies may require businesses to implement safety measures, such as providing additional training or using specific equipment, to mitigate risks and reduce the likelihood of workplace injuries.
The purpose of hard-to-place workers’ compensation insurance is to provide coverage for businesses that may otherwise struggle to obtain insurance or face significant financial hardship if they are unable to secure coverage.

IF EVERYONE KNEW HOW EASY IT WAS…
Despite some insurance agents viewing Professional Employer Organizations (PEOs) as competition, top earners have discovered the advantages of utilizing a PEO. These agents are investing more time in prospecting and less time placing challenging workers’ comp. By searching for the best clients for a PEO, these agents know that hard-to-place workers’ compensation can lead to easy money. One strategy is to take a prospect that does not fit into a standard workers’ comp market, submit an application to Tailored Solutions, and let them handle the quoting, selling, onboarding, and servicing of that account. This approach can lead to increased earnings for agents. For those interested in learning more about PEOs, HRD Markets offers a guide on how PEOs work and the benefits they bring to business owners.
