Property Damage Insurance — Industrial firm, $300M turnover

Before Huscarl After Huscarl

Huscarl assessment

Over-insurance across all lines

  • $50M limit inconsistent with maximum loss of $25M due to a severe flood scenario
  • Over-paying commercial premium
    Self-insure this layer through your captive
  • Well-calibrated deductibles
    All infrequent scenarios (4% probability or less) are covered

Huscarl Recommendations

  • Set overall limit to $25M
    Remove useless coverage layer between $25M and $50M
  • Self-insured through captive
    Layer brought in-house, commercial premium saved
  • Install sprinklers
    Initial investment makes sense due to massive reduction of fire risk (-65% severity) and premiums

• The more frequent a loss scenario, the darker the colour
