Buffer Layer Excess

The 5Star Buffer Layer Excess Occupational Accident Program is designed for employers who have had to assume an adverse amount of risk under a large deductible or self-insured workers compensation program. The workers compensation market has had to struggle to maintain market share and premium growth as payrolls continue to stagnate. Consequently, underwriters have been forced to accept less premium for the same risk in this ultra competitive market environment. Retentions for some employers have steadily increased over the years and are now at a point where they seem too aggressive. Employers who self-insure their workers compensation or have a large deductible may be over-exposed to catastrophic claims. This program allows your clients to choose the retention threshold they need at a premium they can afford.
