SCI Underwriting Management expands efforts in top 20 claims volume states

SCITUATE, Mass. - Oct. 26, 2014 - PRLog -- SCITUATE, MA…

recently announced an expansion in its efforts in states ranked in the top 20 in claim volume for the nursing home/long-term care industry.

“A recent Wall Street Journal article pointed out the difficult climate for all nursing homes and long-term facilities these days. There has been an increase in claims and subsequent lawsuits in recent years. That has resulted in skyrocketing insurance costs for everybody,” said Rob Jurgel, president of SCI Underwriting.  “SCI has a reputation for shrewd underwriting and risk management practices. This helps facilities that have not had claims to remain that way and provides a resource for facilities that have had claims to get coverage and minimize risk going forward.”

States with the highest claim volume for nursing homes and long-term care facilities include: Alabama; California; Florida; Georgia; Illinois; Kentucky; Mississippi; North Carolina; New Jersey; New Mexico; New York; Ohio; Oklahoma; Pennsylvania; Tennessee; Texas; Virginia; Washington; Wisconsin; and West Virginia.

SCI Underwriting’s current product offerings include Personal and General Liability. SCI Underwriting’s risk management services can include Professional Liability Risk Assessment, and a One-Day Focused Consulting Review. SCI’s other offerings include an AssistLine hotline for subscribing clients to obtain answers to questions and resource information related to risk reduction; Online Learning and an Incident Reporting Event Management service; and On-Site Services (Assessment and Focused Consulting).
