In-House Authority
Bloss & Dillard, Inc. has in-house authority to quote $1MM/$2MM limits with most of our carriers for the majority of classes you may see. Some carriers enable us to quote up to $3MM/$5MM on an underlying policy in house.
We have in-house authority to quote commercial property with many of our carriers. We have the ability to quote $1MM limits in-house but have the markets to review much higher limits. We see many types of property exposures such as builders risk, vacant buildings, crime, difference in conditions, just to name a few. We can write property risks on a mono line basis or package with other coverages.
We have in house authority for a wide range of inland marine equipment. Examples of inland marine exposures we see are: contractors equipment, logging equipment, equipment leased or rented to others, valuable papers and more. We have markets that will package these with the GL coverages so it’s easier for the insured and agent when dealing with one policy. Prize indemnification is another type of inland marine coverage we see. During the spring and summer seasons many golf tournaments being in participants with prizes. Whether it’s a large payout, a new car or smaller cash prize we have markets to provide you options for your client.
Our underwriters also have in-house authority on hundreds of classes of business for excess and umbrella coverage, with up to $5M limits. We also have several carriers willing to review harder to place excess and umbrellas, and have capacity for $10M and higher. BDI does not need to write the underlying policies in order to review the excess.
Packages
Many of our classes can be packaged to make your job as an agent easier. A package may consist of GL and property. Other packages may have GL, property, liquor, inland marine and more. Credits are usually available when packaging products so don’t forget this option.
While Liquor Liability is a tough class to write, we do have carriers that will write this class of business. Many prefer to package this with the GL and/or property but they will consider on a monoline basis.

We review risks from A to Z so if you have a risk that you’re not sure about feel free to call our office and discuss it with our underwriters.
