Our claims service has improved, and customers have begun to notice.

"As  a result of our organic and acquisitive growth, we recognized that we needed to change the way we did business, says AmTrust’s Chief Claim Officer Darrel Price. So the company began making a concerted effort to get claims service to the industry-leading level it was in years past. 

AmTrust was founded during the dot-com boom of the late 1990s. And ever since, it has used technology to power its way up the commercial lines ranks. 

 Did you ever think about the insurance needs of a nonprofit organization? You know, those entities one might associate as well-intentioned, but resource-constrained and operating on shoestring budgets?

Actually, nonprofits are potentially an underserved market whose exposures range far beyond standard property and liability coverage. A new product line resulting from AmTrust’s acquisition of First Nonprofit Group can help independent agents not only better understand nonprofits’ needs, but match them with the coverage and services that will help them protect their assets.

Since 1998, AmTrust North America has served its customers with a combination of premier insurance products along with what we believe to be an unmatched level of customer service that continues to be unique in the industry. We take great pride in the portfolio of products we offer along with the high standards we have set for ourselves in respect to the relationships we have with our customers, our agents, and our own employees.
